Well, if this isn't bad timing, I don't know what is. In fact, the code
in question is not in CVS HEAD anymore, because I've turned everything
upside down to support fetching passwd and group information from SAM
and AD, without requiring /etc/passwd and /etc/group files.
I would like to suggest that you make yourself familiar with the changes
and try the latest developer snapshots from http://cygwin.com/snapshots/
For the impact of the changes, please see the information given in the
thread starting at http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2014-02/threads.html#00306,
and especially the updated documentation attached to the mail
http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2014-04/msg00248.html
HTH,
Corinna
