A little too minimal, I would say. id is part of coreutils, which is
a Base package, and as such, it should be part of every working
cygwin installation. You may want to run 'cygcheck -c' to see
which packages are incomplete, and should be reinstalled using
setup.exe.
Also, following the directions here

about attaching 'cygcheck -svr' as a text attachment to your
email might help us spot anything else suspicious in your
installation.
