My winXP ID was recently moved from one domain to another. Now when I
log in to cygwin, I don't have permissions to access some of my own

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> ...]'
