> The problem is that in some circumstances the 'id' command returns the user name
>'administrator' instead of the correct logged-in user. Since /etc/profile uses this
>to set USER and the home directory, this is rather significant!
>
> It is consistent for a particular machine/user, but we don't know what makes the
>difference. So for example:
> On my dual boot (W95/W2000) PC, on the W95 side, cygwin correctly sets me up as
>fine_c (my Windows login), but on W2000, it insists I am administrator, though I am
>still logged in as fine_c.
>
> On an NT4 machine, a colleague finds that cygwin correctly picks up his login name;
>but if he creates another user (test) n the machine and logs in using that, cygwin
>again thinks that user is administrator.
>
> Does anybody recognise this? Or know which Windows call 'id' uses?
