You'd need to check that group 544 is in your user token. Some folks say 114 too, but if you use cygdrop -l, this group will stay in your token, while you are _not_ having local admin rights anymore. But calling id on a domain member machine can, under unfavorable circumstances, take more than a minute to complete. The AD integration for Cygwin has developed further since I last saw this problem so it's possible it's been solved along with some other things. However since I've not had the time yet to try and re-create the setup that most consistently showed the problem I don't want to put it into any standard startup files.
