I meant the slowness. But I just remembered there may be a way to work around the Unknown+User issue. If I understand the problem correctly, you should be able to use /etc/passwd and /etc/group as permanent caches for your user/group name mapping. Switch on "db" in /etc/nsswitch.conf, re-starting Cygwin, calling `mkpasswd -c >> /etc/passwd` and `mkgroup -c >> /etc/group`, and switching "db" off again. I think this should be enough to fix your user/group name, but maybe you'll need to fiddle a bit with the commands. See <https://cygwin.com/cygwin-ug-net/using-utils.html#mkpasswd> and <https://cygwin.com/cygwin-ug-net/using-utils.html#mkgroup> for help for these utilities and <https://cygwin.com/cygwin-ug-net/ntsec.html> if you're interested in more details. -- David Macek
