Cannot initialize bash shell after Cygwin 1.5.24 install

[Doug Ruff <dougruff at ymail dot com>]

I've just completed the installation of Cygwin 1.5.24 to my Windows Server 2003 64-bit machine.
?
I installed using my domain user account (dougruff), and when the installation completed, I was able to launch a bash shell in my login session without any problems.
?
But as soon as another user logs into this system and starts Cygwin bash, they are greeted with an uninitialized Bash shell (no path is set, no prompt is set, etc.)
?
There is no HOME variable set in Windows.? Nor is there an entry in /etc/passwd for my account (dougruff).
?
One thing that I notice (which you'll see below) is that the output from /bin/id displays a number of GID's that are > 65536.
?
I've checked the archives for previous instances of this problem but don't seem to find a solution.
?
What could be keeping other users from being able to get a properly initialized shell session on this machine?
?
Here's my cygcheck -svr output:
