Huh? What has the group to do with the uid?
Ntsec needs passwd entries for users and especially the SID in this
file to operate correctly. Your below passwd files are not very
useful for ntsec. Why are the SIDs missing? Are you actually
working under the administrators account? Did you rename it on
your system or did you only rename it in /etc/passwd? If so, the entry
should better look like this:
habacker::500:513:U-administrator,S-1-5-21-X-Y-Z-500:/home/habacker:/bin/bash
Did you read http://cygwin.com/cygwin-ug-net/ntsec.html ?

When using ntsec, yes. This should have been the case already with
earlier releases of Cygwin. In 1.3.11 it just got stricter.
