I have just set-up cygwin (1.5.19-4) on a XP/Pro/SP2 non-domain system and
got the expected:
Your group is currently "mkpasswd". This indicates that
the /etc/passwd (and possibly /etc/group) files should be rebuilt.
See the man pages for mkpasswd and mkgroup then, for example, run
mkpasswd -l [-d] > /etc/passwd
mkgroup -l [-d] > /etc/group
Note that the -d switch is necessary for domain users.
When I enter the mkgroup command:
$ mkgroup -l
SYSTEM:S-1-5-18:18:
None:S-1-5-21-#####-513:513:
..etc..
(I assume the group information is OK.)
When I enter the mkpasswd command:
$ mkpasswd -l
SYSTEM:*:18:544:,S-1-5-18::
Administrators:*:544:544:,S-1-5-32-544::
mkpasswd (272): [1359] An internal error occurred.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
My NT login has full admin privileges when I am setting up cygwin and
running the shell.
I believe I need a valid /etc/passwd in order to run ssh.
