First and foremost, you should have attached the output of "cygcheck -svr" from a non-working machine as an uncompressed non-inline text attachment (as per <http://cygwin.com/problems.html>). Without that information, all I can do is venture a guess, which is that you most likely log in as a domain user, and mkpasswd doesn't pick up the correct groups. Try "mkpasswd -d -u YourUser YourDomain >> /etc/passwd" and "mkgroup -d YourDomain >> /etc/group".
