This violates a basic Cygwin assumption, see http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2002-12/msg00264.html http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2002-12/msg00214.html and this can lead to various problems. It causes an internal error when you start Cygwin: internal_getlogin: SetTokenInformation(TokenPrimaryGroup): Win32 error 1308 So what's happening is that the non-privileged daemon gets a request for a login with permanently_set_uid: uid=45090/gid=10513 This request can't be satisfied because 10513 is not a current group of the daemon and it doesn't have the privilege to add groups. The solution is simple: either edit /etc/passwd and change the gid to 547 or 545, or in Windows add the user to the Domain Users group.
