See your cygcheck output:

CYGWIN = 'nontsec'

This must be set in your environment somewhere.  Possibly this is introduced
by Altera tools Dave mentioned (thanks Dave).  If you don't know why it's set,
find it and remove it.  Alternatively, if you cannot find it for some
reason, at least unset it in your cygwin.bat file (assuming you start Cygwin
that way).  This is a cheap hack though.  You're better off removing the
setting for real.

Your cygcheck says you have cygwin package version 1.5.19-4.  The current
version is 1.5.21-2.

I think you're getting a conflicts between Altera and Cygwin.  Removing Altera
is likely not the solution to the problem you see but it will avoid other/
future problems.  The solution to your current problem is to regenerate your
passwd/group files, as Dave mentioned.  At least this should work if your
user and the resource available are in the same domain.
