Hello,

I've installed latest cygwin on = my Win2000 using regular NT-user account (I have no administrator = privileges) and I've got warning when starting cygwin:

"id: cannot find name for = user ID 20479"
and I have next default prompt = in bash:
"I have no name!@<my = machine name> ~"
i.e. cygwin cannot determine my = user name...

Related problem - I can not use = scp command - it fails with message: "unknown user = 20479"

next example:
$ whoami
whoami: cannot find username for = UID 20479

Does anybody know how to setup = cygwin so it can distinguish my username?

Might be it LDAP-related = problem?

Thanks in advance.
