rlogin to xp home edition

Hallo,
(i hope this is the correct forum to this question)
I have a XP home edition running using cygwin and the inetd package. I have
created /etc/passwd and /etc/group as described. The only user (and there is
only one at an XP home edition with usable privileges) is called otto. I can
rlogin to this client using the account otto and his password. Everything
okay.
What I do not understand is: where do the strange uid and gid (e.g. mkpasswd)
of the most files come from? Rlogin seems not to use passwd and gid and I can
not force it to login with /bin/bash (which is defined in /etc/passwd). It
always comes up with /bin/sh (which does not understand any aliases and
others).
A drastic workaround at the moment is to symlink bash to sh.
Best regards
Ulrich
