the .bat.  The .sh *should* recognise that you are a user in a
domain and call the appropriate flags.

cp /etc/profile.default /etc/profile

exit

I'm going to point you in the general direction of the email archives for
this one.  It's probably a worthwhile FAQ as well but an entry for it doesn't
exist yet.

Does anybody know why cygwin shows my name as "Administrator" however i am
logged in w2k as user kolesnia? This user has administrator rights in w2k.
