A FAQ would be great. Obviously there are major
passwd differences between cygwin and unix.
I set up a line in /etc/passwd for dlipofsky with
a made-up UID and GID. This seems to work.
So what happened before I had this? It sounds like it couldn't
find dlipofsky so it just when with the default. Is that it?
Also what are the strings that look like
S-1-5-21-839522115-1060284298-1708537768-500
