Thank you. 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.

Fergus
