Is it a bug with CYgwin?
No, Windows simply does not give you full access to your normal privileges when you log in remotely without a password. Specifically, you won't be able to access anything that is considered non-local, like external fileshares. See: https://cygwin.com/cygwin-ug-net/ntsec.html#ntsec-setuid-overview If you trust the server in question and all its administrators and other users, you can use "Method 3" as described above. Don't forget to set up cygserver if you want to be able to set or change the password with a non-administrative account.
