Hello!
I think I found a rather nasty bug:
1. Add a new group with "net localgroup mygrp1 /add"
2. Then list all groups with "getent group", the new group mygrp1 will
not show up. "getent group mygrp1" will list it, but this is useless
in my case, as I need the group listed by "getent group"

I guess we can rule out a domain controller but is this a standalone
machine or a domain member machine?
What's the setting of your /etc/nsswitch.conf?
Thanks,
Corinna

Standalone test machine, stock Windows 10 installed 2 days ago,
current patches, Cygwin 3.5 from 2 days ago.

Only comments in that file, i.e. empty

Please set the db_enum: line to
db_enum: all
and try again after exiting from the shell window. Have a look at
https://cygwin.com/cygwin-ug-net/ntsec.html#ntsec-mapping-nsswitch
for the settings. By default account enumeration only returns
the bare minimum for speed.
Btw, there *is* a bug in that code, but it affects only domain
menber machines, afaics.

I saw you did a couple of commits related to "getent group". Is any of
these commits fixing the problem that a new Win32 local group created
with "net localgroup mygrp1 /add" does not show up in the output of
"getent group"?

Did you read my previous reply and tried what I wrote?

That worked on the customers machine:
getent group | fgrep 'S-1-5-21-'
Kein:S-1-5-21-3286904461-661230000-4220857270-513:197121:
mygrp1:S-1-5-21-3286904461-661230000-4220857270-1003:197611:
mygrp2:S-1-5-21-3286904461-661230000-4220857270-1004:197612:
mygrp3:S-1-5-21-3286904461-661230000-4220857270-1005:197613:
__vmware__:S-1-5-21-3286904461-661230000-4220857270-1002:197610:
Kein:S-1-5-21-3286904461-661230000-4220857270-513:197121:
but "db_enum: cache builtin local" in nsswitch.conf works too. "cache
builtin" is the default, so just add "local"
Why is "local" NOT enabled by default?

It would suffice to turn change the default to "db_enum: cache builtin
local" for 3.5.1
