Home dir is "/"

I've installed cygwin 1.3.18-1 on an XP system and
found it set my home dir as "/" instead of
/home/<NT_USERNAME> like it normally does. Within
cygwin, I see that /home isn't even there. Even after
making my homedir, it still still puts me at root when
I launch a shell. I noted that I am not in /etc/passwd
as well. Should I be? If this is common problem, could
someone clue me in please?

Thanks,
Matt
