Subject: Re: ID command returns mkgroup

Hi,
I opened cygwin and typed "id" and I noticed the word mkgroup was
listed two times after my username.
So I search on this error and found the following command to fix:
mkpasswd -l -c> /etc/passwd; mkgroup -l -d> /etc/group
But now when I run id I get a totally different result. It seems the
command has placed my userid into a number of ironious groups including
Administrators. As fun as that sounds, it seems like I have given
myself power I should not have as a basic user.
Can someone help me to correct my id output and rebuild my passwd or
group files correctly...?
Read and follow the problem reporting guidelines found here:

Pay close attention to the request to *attach* and not append cygcheck
output.
Thanks Larry.
I have attached the cygcheck.out file.
OK, so you're a domain user that is also part of the local Administrators
and local
Users group, in addition to being part of a number of other domain groups.
What groups do you believe you're not a part of and why?
