These uid and gid look fishy. Your /etc/passwd and /etc/group files seem to be off. Maybe that's the reason. Regenerate your /etc/passwd and /etc/group files: $ mkpasswd -l [-d] > /etc/passwd $ mkgroup -l [-d] > /etc/group Use the -d option only if you're in a domain. For more information see http://cygwin.com/cygwin-ug-net/using-utils.html#mkpasswd http://cygwin.com/cygwin-ug-net/using-utils.html#mkgroup Then exit from your Cygwin shell and start again.
