Problem with Cygwin installation for domain user

["aviad rozenhek" <aviadr1 at gmail dot com>]

Hi,
I've been using cygwin for several years, and I absolutely love it. thanks!
I have installed cygwin on XP machine at work, and ran into
setup/configuration problem, Basically its the  Your group name is
currently "mkpasswd" issue.

I tried the following things:

> > mkpasswd -l > /etc/passwd
> > mkgroup  -l  > /etc/group

doen't change anything, I still get the message, so I tried
> > $ mkpasswd.exe -l -d > /etc/passwd

this failed with "mkpasswd (264): [5] Access is denied." (see attached
1.txt and 1.strace.txt)

so I also tried
> > $ mkpasswd.exe -l -c > /etc/passwd
> > $ mkgroup.exe -l -c > /etc/group

but that doesn't work becaue on next login I get:

Your group name is currently "mkgroup_l_d". This indicates that not
all domain users and groups are listed in the /etc/passwd and
/etc/group files.
See the man pages for mkpasswd and mkgroup then, for example, run
mkpasswd -l -d > /etc/passwd
mkgroup  -l -d > /etc/group

This message is only displayed once (unless you recreate /etc/group)
and can be safely ignored.

and my home directory is set to /cygdrive/h (?)

I would appreciate any help,
especially soothing would be to find that my home directory is at
c:\cygwin\homes\aviad

the same as it would have been had I been a local rather than a domain user

thanks
