Hi -

I finally got cygwin to install, after downloading lots and lots of
packages and with everyone's helpful hints on this mailing list.  Thanks a
lot to all of you.

So, I started cygwin, and I get this message at the top of the screen
above the bash prompt:

    Your username or group hasn't been setup correctly.
    This typically happens if you are a domain user
    (cygwin does not automatically create /etc/passwd or
    /etc/group for domain users)

What should I do here?  Is there such a thing as a 'root' account and user
accounts?

Thanks in advance.
