Now when I log in to cygwin, I don't have permissions to access some of my own files - like my ssh id_rsa file for example. Can someone tell me what I need to do to fix this? Also, the group name is showing up as all question marks when I do an "ls -l". Can anyone help me fix this? TIA.

Looks to me like you just need to recreate your '/etc/group' and '/etc/passwd' files. Try:
mkpasswd -l -d >/etc/passwd mkgroup -l -d >/etc/group
If this takes too long, look at the -D flag for each so you can specify the domain.
Doesn't seem like my versions of these commands support the -D option.
$ mkpasswd -l -D mkpasswd: unknown option -- D Try 'mkpasswd --help' for more information.
$ mkgroup -l -D mkgroup: unknown option -- D Try 'mkgroup --help' for more information.
Did you try 'man mkpasswd'? It looks like the correct syntax is 'mkpasswd -l -d [<domain> ...]'
Right. Sorry folks. I'm away from my Windows machine so I'm doing this from memory. The "-d" alone works though. I only mentioned adding the domain name as an option in case your domains are huge and/or you have ones that are now unreachable.
