I have a problem with ssh using this on a domain machine.

$ uname -a
CYGWIN_NT-6.3 cbreisch-win8 1.7.30s(0.272/5/3) 20140514 11:29:16 x86_64 
Cygwin

I had ssh set up and working properly before installing the snapshot.

$ cat /etc/nsswitch.conf
passwd: files
group: files

If I leave it using files, I have no problems.

So, I change it to db and attempt to restart sshd

$ cat /etc/nsswitch.conf
passwd: db
group: db

# cygrunsrv -E sshd
# cygrunsrv -S sshd
cygrunsrv: Error starting a service: QueryServiceStatus:  Win32 error 1062:
The service has not been started.

Add files back in:

$ cat /etc/nsswitch.conf
passwd: db files
group: db files

$ cygrunsrv -S sshd

works perfectly.

It appears to have something to do with the cyg_server account. Perhaps 
because I set it up before I installed the snapshot? Why would that matter?

In any event, when set to use files, I can do this:

$ id cyg_server
uid=1008(cyg_server) gid=513(None) groups=513(None),0(root),545(Users)

when only using db, I get

$ id cyg_server
id: cyg_server: no such user

cyg_server does exist on the machine:

$ net users

User accounts for \\CBREISCH-WIN8

man                      sshd
The command completed successfully.

and is in /etc/passwd

$ grep cyg_server /etc/passwd
cyg_server:unused:1008:513:Privileged

Interesting, I just noticed that it says /cygdrive/d/cygwin/root... 
There's no such path.

$ ls /cygdrive/d/cygwin/root
ls: cannot access /cygdrive/d/cygwin/root: No such file or directory

I changed my /cygdrive mount to /win

but even /win/d/cygwin/root doesn't exist. .../cygwin/root is from an 
old install.

$ ls /win/d/cygwin/root
ls: cannot access /win/d/cygwin/root: No such file or directory
