Difficulties getting who, id, telnet, and reality to agree

["Bohman, Carl" <Carl dot Bohman at Nextel dot com>]

I'm relatively new to Cygwin (a great product overall), but I've searched
the web, man pages, info documents, FAQ, mail list archives (in many
different ways) and am still having difficulties with a few things.

==========
Some (possibly) important details:
----------
* Windows 2000 professional
* Installed Cygwin while logged in as cbohman (a domain user who is a member
of the Administrators group).
* Selected installation for "All Users" with default text file type of
"Unix".
* Installed all of the current Cygwin components listed under the "Full"
installation.  (Did not install any of the items marked "experimental.")
* CYGWIN=tty ntsec
* /etc/passwd and /etc/group files were built using mkpasswd and mkgroup and
are attached at the bottom of this e-mail.  (They have been edited slightly
in attempts to address the issues mentioned below.)
* One of the specific ways in which /etc/passwd was edited was adding the
domain user cbohman to it via the command: mkpasswd -d -u cbohman >>
/etc/passwd
* inetd is installed and running as a service.

Questions:
----------
1. When I run cygwin.bat, I am automatically logged on.  How does Cygwin
know who to log me in as?

The reason for this question is that it logs me in as Administrator (local
machine) even though I am logged onto the machine as cbohman (domain user).
I can tell this, because the id command shows the following:

$ id
uid=26172(Administrator) gid=10513
groups=0(Everyone),544(Administrators),547(Power Users),545(Users)

However, the who command properly shows me as being logged in as cbohman.
----------
2. When I run who with users logged in locally and remotely, I can only see
the local users.  Running the last command shows me the local and remote
users.  See the following:

$ who
cbohman  tty0     Apr 16 16:12

$ last | grep still
cbohman  tty1         REMOTESERVER     Tue Apr 16 16:13   still logged in
cbohman  tty0         CYGWINSERVER     Tue Apr 16 16:12   still logged in

I know that who uses /var/run/utmp and last uses /var/log/wtmp.  A previous
message indicated that not all programs let utmp know what's going on.
However, a separate message indicated that they had the who command working
just fine.  What am I doing wrong?
----------
3. When I telnet in from another computer, id says that I am now logged in
as SYSTEM, even though I logged in as cbohman:

$ id
uid=18(SYSTEM) gid=18(SYSTEM) groups=0(Everyone),544(Administrators)
==========

I imagine that all of these questions are somehow related, but I have spent
a lot of time trying to find resolutions with minimal success.  Any tips or
suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
