FW: 'id' on NT/2000

> We have a problem with cygnus, originally on W2000, but we have now duplicated it on NT4 as well.
> 
> The problem is that in some circumstances the 'id' command returns the user name 'administrator' instead of the correct logged-in user. Since /etc/profile uses this to set USER and the home directory, this is rather significant!
> 
> It is consistent for a particular machine/user, but we don't know what makes the difference. So for example:
> On my dual boot (W95/W2000) PC, on the W95 side, cygwin correctly sets me up as fine_c (my Windows login), but on W2000, it insists I am administrator, though I am still logged in as fine_c.
> 
> On an NT4 machine, a colleague finds that cygwin correctly picks up his login name; but if he creates another user (test) n the machine and logs in using that, cygwin again thinks that user is administrator.
> 
> Does anybody recognise this? Or know which Windows call 'id' uses?
