Executing "mkgroup -ld" nor "mkgroup -l" did not help anything. Oh well, it
only happens when I open Cygwin, so I guess I can live with it.

This is an indication that you need to run `mkgroup -l` (or `-ld' if your a
domain user). If you really don't need ntsec (or ntea) support, then I
suppose you don't need to worry about this. It's there because this is the
cause of some common Cygwin problems.
