This does not look like a local user account. Is CHI your AD domain or your local machine name? The above occurs if a Windows system call fails, i. e. LookupAccountSid probably returns with an error code outlining that it can't contact the DC. If you want to use your AD username even when disconnected from the DC, it really makes sense to generate an /etc/passwd entry for your user account, as well as /etc/group entries for the AD groups you're member in. To create these entries you can use the mkpasswd/mkgroup tools or, alternatively, the getent tool. Either way, obviously you must be connected to your DC when doing so. Then, if you're disconnected, Cygwin can easily fetch this information from the local files.
