passwd questions with cygwin 1.7

[Paul McFerrin]

OKAY, I have some passwd questions & problems associated with cygwin 1.7.

PRIOR to 1.7, my UID/GID for "Paul" account was 501/401 and all of my 
files have correct ownership.  When I created /etc/passwd via:
        cd /etc
        mkpasswk -l -p $HOME >x
        vim x   { changed: UID/GID to 501/401
                { corrected HOME & SHELL to /bin/ksh
        mv x passwd
When I issue "mkpasswd -l",  I see UID/GIB for Paul unchanged as well as 
the files/folders remain unchanged from:
      drwxrwxrwt+ 1 Guest mkpasswd 0 Feb 26 15:04 /home/paul

When I'm looking at document: 
http://cygwin.com/1.7/cygwin-ug-net/using-utils.html#passwd
it doesn't describe this procedure as what to do next when converting
an existing release to 1.7 ??  What next??  Remember, this was not a full
upgrade; just updating /bin/cygwin1.dll.  I have not made a commitment 
to do a full upgrade to 1.7 yet.
