But not clearly understood whether I was supposed to set it myself, or whether Cygwin would set an initial value.

With the environment variable, the rights showed up correctly. [I now set this to my .bash_profile] Which is of course worrisome: in order to read my password, on just needs to unset the CYGWIN environment variable...
