  You don't, you run "mkgroup" (with appropriate options according to
whether you're in a domain or not etc.) and redirect the output to
/etc/group.  (Or don't, if you want to take a look at what it's going to do
before making any changes).

  See the details in the user guide:
http://www.cygwin.com/cygwin-ug-net/using-utils.html#mkgroup	
and the ntsec documentation for background:

    cheers,
