Hi Philip,

maybe the name philipa is used in /etc/passwd but it's not
your true NT login name? This results in such problems when
CYGWIN=ntsec is set and it's set by default.

You don't have to compile bash. It has nothing to do with
this phenomenon.

There are two possible solutions,

either edit your /etc/passwd and /etc/group files to let them
reflect your NT user and group settings as much as possible
(don't use abbreviations of the true login names!)

or set CYGWIN=nontsec.

Regards,
Corinna
