1) Wrong mailing list, see https://cygwin.com/lists.html.
2) The fact that /etc/group and /etc/passwd are missing is by design.
It was outlined in the announcement:
https://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin-announce/2015-02/msg00009.html
I suggest to read the new and shiny part of the User's Guide
explaining the new account handling in excruciating detail:
https://cygwin.com/cygwin-ug-net/ntsec.html
3) Further technical discussion about Cygwin on this list is discouraged
and penalized with two slaps from our dedicated body guards, the pink
plush hippos.
