You're jumping to conclusions. The reason why USERNAME and USERDOMAIN
are wrong I explained in my first reply. Both values don't matter when
Cygwin tries to connect to the PDC, as long as the /etc/passwd pw_gecos
field contains a valid U-DOMAIN\username entry. This information is
used to connect to the PDC.
