However when I start a bash shell id returns:
$ id
uid=400(adefaria) gid=401(Domain Users)
groups=544(Administrators),545(Users),38018(CTXSJCA),28526(dept-6700),10513(#Domain Users),401(Domain Users),37324(Exceed8),75030(IRV-bsehwdsl),66771(IRVA630XChina),66772(IRVA630XChinaBSE)
Yet if I do:
$ mkpasswd -d -u adefaria
ADEFARIA:unused_by_nt/2000/xp:100260:10513:Andrew DeFaria,U-BROADCOM\ADEFARIA,S-1-5-21-1039729616-1467765255-1947940980-90260:/home:/bin/bash
As you can see my UID from the domain controler is 100260 and GID is 10513.
Why is id returning 400 and 401?
I believe cygwin finds the first record in /etc/passwd that matches a
given username. So try reordering them. Same with /etc/group and "Domain
Users". I don't recall whether the usernames are case-sensitive -- so the
all-caps on your domain username may be a red herring.
HTH,
