Cygwin does not have 'users' of its own. Cygwin uses the user accounts
in Windows. To add a user to Cygwin, create that user using the normal
Windows methods.
But this is not required at all.
In unix the unprivileged user account is typically named 'nobody'. In
Windows, it's typically Guest. So, just change your httpd.conf to use
Guest. But really you should just comment that out alltogether because
the preferred way to run Apache is via a service, not with apachectl.
