Re: whoami and id returns "administrator" instead of my userid

Will that mean that I need to "login" to cygwin?    

Any suggestions for /etc/password and .cshrc?  The desired behavior is
that clicking on the tcsh icon gives me a tcsh shell running as "bbarber" (my Windows
2000 userid).  Currently it runs the shell as "administrator".

                                                --Brad "learning sysadmin" Barber

Here are the current values.  I wonder where it got "atg" and "Guest" from.  
I don't think I've registered anyone.  I've never touched this file directly.

KANE:/etc> cat passwd
