Could the problem be that the owner and group are the same? You can
do that on unix, but I'm not sure the Windows security model allows
it. For example, what happens when you remove permissions of the
owner kaz while retaining the permissions of the group kaz? As far as
Windows is concerned, you're talking about BLACKBOX\kaz in both cases,
I think.
I have no idea where that came from. All files in the Cygwin
installation
(/bin, /usr/bin, /lib, ...) are owned by kaz:kaz. Numerically,
197613:197613. The UID and GID are the same number.
I don't see a passwd file any more in current Cygwin, but getpwent
works:
4$ txr
This is the TXR Lisp interactive listener of TXR 243.
Quit with :quit or Ctrl-D on an empty line. Ctrl-X ? for cheatsheet.

I have no clue where this configuration came from. Is there some
prompting
for these names when a new installation is made?
If nobody else has this problem, I must have done something wrong.
