Sure, no worries. I wasn't talking about removing support for the /etc/fstab and /etc/nsswitch.conf files, but to add another technique for admins. The files are absolutely required for non-AD machines anyway. The idea was going along these lines. At Cygwin startup: - On a domain machine, request the configuration extension for nsswitch.conf from AD. If it exists use it. - If it doesn't exist, or if the machine is a non-AD machine, check the file. Same for /etc/fstab. After creating the passwd entry for the current user, check for the user's cygwinFstab attribute. If it's not empty, use it, otherwise, or on a non-AD machine, use the /etc/fstab.d/$USER file.
