How big are your /etc/passwd and /etc/group files?

	I assume this will work without AD?
//ishtar/law/Bliss> mkpasswd -D -o 0|sort -t: -n -k3

Note homedir for 'Bliss\law = //Bliss/law:
//Bliss/law> df .
Filesystem      Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
I:              1.0T  722G  303G  71% /cygdrive/i

However, during login, I massage that to the local
USERPROILE dir as having my home dir files localling
is a wee bit fster.

I also add significant entries to my group file that
cygwin leaves out -- but that do show up on an
id. (all the standard well defined groups), including
  "specifically:
Untrusted Mandatory Level:S-1-16-0:11600000:
Low Mandatory Level:S-1-16-4096:11604096:
Medium Mandatory Level:S-1-16-8192:1168192:
Medium Plus Mandatory Level:S-1-16-8448:1168448:
High Mandatory Level:S-1-16-12288:11612288:
System Mandatory Level:S-1-16-16384:11616384:root
Protected Process Mandatory Level:S-1-16-20480:11620480:
Secure Process Mandatory Level:S-1-16-28672:11628672:

So when I use 'id', I get:
uid=15013(Bliss\law) gid=10201(Bliss\lawgroup) 
groups=10201(Bliss\lawgroup),544(Administrators),545(Users),10512(Bliss\Domain 
Admins),10513(Bliss\Domain Users),10517(Bliss\Cert 
Publishers),10518(Bliss\Schema Admins),10519(Bliss\Enterprise 
Admins),10520(Bliss\Group Policy Creator 
Owners),10260(Bliss\torrent),11053(Bliss\Trusted Local Net Users),11612288(High 
Mandatory Level)

The security levels are mostly for informational / interest  purposes...

Maybe they might be added to cygwin if it is going to substitute it's own
internal DB?
