There's a documented ruleset which is strictly followed https://cygwin.com/cygwin-ug-net/ntsec.html#ntsec-mapping-how: Well-known and builtin accounts will be named as in Windows: "SYSTEM", "LOCAL", "Medium Mandatory Level", ... If the machine is not a domain member machine, only local accounts can be resolved into names, so for ease of use, just the account names are used as Cygwin user/group names: "corinna", "bigfoot", "None", ... If the machine is a domain member machine, all accounts from the primary domain of the machine are mapped to Cygwin names without domain prefix: "corinna", "bigfoot", "Domain Users", ... while accounts from other domains are prepended by their domain: "DOMAIN1+corinna", "DOMAIN2+bigfoot", "DOMAIN3+Domain Users", ... Local machine accounts of a domain member machine get a Cygwin user name the same way as accounts from another domain: The local machine name gets prepended: "MYMACHINE+corinna", "MYMACHINE+bigfoot", "MYMACHINE+None", ... If LookupAccountSid fails, Cygwin checks the accounts against the known trusted domains. If the account is from one of the trusted domains, an artificial account name is created. It consists of the domain name, and a special name created from the account RID: "MY_DOM+User(1234)", "MY_DOM+Group(5678)" Otherwise we know nothing about this SID, so it will be mapped to the fake accounts Unknown+User/Unknown+Group with uid/gid -1 HTH, Corinna -- Corinna Vinschen Cygwin Maintainer
