user identification problem


Hello,

I find that my cygwin installation complains that it has no name for me:  I
have no name!@DECAV68461 ~

I get this whenever I start the cygwin shell. Also when I do an whomai I
get:

     whomai: cannot find username for UID 4276.

A 'id -un' gives me:

      id: cannot find name for user ID 4276

Some of the files and directories do show a user 4276 in the mkgroup_.

My name is in the /etc/passwd file:

SYSTEM:*:18:544:,S-1-5-18::
Administrators:*:544:544:,S-1-5-32-544::
Administrator:unused_by_nt/2000/xp:500:513:U-DECAV68461\Administrator,S-1-5-
21-484763869-1958367476-725345543-
500:/home/Administrator:/bin/bash
Guest:unused_by_nt/2000/xp:501:513:U-DECAV68461\Guest,S-1-5-21-484763869-195
8367476-725345543-501:/home/Guest:/bin/bash
leero:unused_by_nt/2000/xp:135348:10513:leero,U-NORTHGRUM\leero,S-1-5-21-206
3937484-1545362895-883519231-125348:/cygdrive/c:/bin/bash

I'm leero, the machine name is DECAV68461.  I log onto DECAV68461 under the
NORTHGRUM domain.

Does anyone know where this 4276 comes from? I 'm having problems building
s/w that use /usr/bin/install b/c the latter claims I have no permission to
change ownership of files.

Am I missing some setup steps?

Thanks for your help.

Robert
