hi guys,

here's THE thing

i installed cygwin with tar, make and perl as Administrator. then i created 
virtual user "root" in /etc/passwd copy of Administrator user in Windows uid 0 
and there was already "root" group in /etc/group gid 0. Now the problem is that 
when i logon as administartor (as root in cygwin) and try to un-tar, gunzip any 
file or even try to install any perl module with cpan, it always exit with 
error like "cannot change permission uid 1000, gid 1000" or "cannot change 
permission uid 501, gid 20" and many other error like these. and what i see is 
that there is no user or group with these uid and gid in passwd and group file, 
not even any virtual user.

need help
