This is just a guess but I when I installed from scratch (NT 4 SP6a) and
included OpenSSH, a DOS window popped up and ran the "mkpasswd -l" and
"mkgroup -l" commands. This was run from a batch file and was saved as
"\cygwin\etc\postinstall\passwd-grp.bat.done".
If you installed OpenSSH, check your /etc directory and see if you have a
passwd file.
Like I said, just a guess - I'm very new to cygwin myself.
