What does your '/etc' directory look like? It would appear that you either:
a. Don't have access to it anymore (or key files like '/etc/passwd' and
'/etc/group').
b. Something has blown away said files.

C:\Users\strannik\.nx/temp/ /tmp user textmode
How long ago did you install the <http://cygwin.com/acronyms//#3PP>
NoMachine/NX?
I'd recommend removing this mount and the duplicate DLLs in its 'bin'
directory of
cygwin1.dll, cygcrypto-0.9.8.dll, and cygz.dll (you may find you can/should
get rid of
other "cyg" DLLs in that directory as well.) Then add your Cygwin
installation to
your Windows path.
