You need to set CYGWIN_TTY=1 as a global environment variable, in control panel|system|environment. After you've done this, make sure you strip CR's out of your passwd file, or you'll get another error. I happen to use Ultraedit32, and it has an option to convert a text file to "unix" format, which strips carriage returns.
