> I'll follow up once I have the output you've requested. Well, my Systems people stopped cygserver for me, and I was able to open the "Cygwin64 terminal" without problems... The machine wasn't rebooted, re-login'ed, nothing.
So cygserver was the culprit? When I run id now, I get it all correctly, from both that very terminal: $ id uid=1050182(lavr) gid=1049089(Domain Users) groups=1049089(Domain Users),555(Remote Desktop Users),545(Users),559(Performance Log Users),14(REMOTE INTERACTIVE LOGON),4(INTERACTIVE).... and also from "bash" that I used to start from "cmd.exe" (when the terminal wouldn't open up): C:\Windows\System32>cd \cygwin64\bin C:\Cygwin64\bin>bash lavr@NCBIPC9135 /usr/bin $ id uid=1050182(lavr) gid=1049089(Domain Users) groups=1049089(Domain Users),555(Remote Desktop Users),545(Users),559(Performance Log Users),14(REMOTE INTERACTIVE LOGON),4(INTERACTIVE),11(Authenticated Users),15(This Organization),4095(CurrentSession)... Also note that my prompt is not showing anything numeric anymore... Any clues?
