Here is startup location and the information you requested in cygwin-1.3.15-2: ~> id uid=500(fergus) gid=544(bonhard) groups=544(bonhard) ~> cat /etc/passwd fergus::500:544::/home/fergus:/bin/bash ~> cat /etc/group bonhard::544: ~> ... and here is the same thing in cygwin-1.3.16-1 (note default prompt as ~/.bash_profile has not been picked up; also starting location / not ~. The files /etc/passwd and/etc/group are unaltered. I have added output of mkpasswd if that helps): fergus AT LEPER / $ id uid=500(fergus) gid=401(unknown) groups=401(unknown) fergus AT LEPER / $ cat /etc/passwd fergus::500:544::/home/fergus:/bin/bash fergus AT LEPER / $ cat /etc/group bonhard::544: fergus AT LEPER / $ mkpasswd unknown::500:544::/home/unknown:/bin/bash Thanks again.
