i thought so ... is there a way to make mkpasswd generate correct group 
id output?

or else, i've thought of writing a small program that gracefully 
combines current cygwin setting (/etc/passwd, /etc/group) and NT setting 
(mkpasswd, mkgroup). everytime i change a user on NT requires me to 
first generate mkpasswd over existing /etc/passwd, potentially losing 
info on user shell selection, and lose the past manual corrections on 
group id. the small program will take care of automatically correcting 
group id in mkpasswd output and importing shell selection from previous 
/etc/passwd. do you think there is necessity in doing this?
