There are two posts on cygwin AT cygwin DOT com at the moment where a discussed
change and perhaps implemented (?) on cygwin-patches AT cygwin DOT com has come up.
The first was ("mkpasswd: [5] Access is denied.") where the user, Peter
Canning had problems running mkpasswd agains his own user and the second
that's just come in is ("no man pages"). Both have the group set to
'mkpasswd'.

Also this was in the strace output that Peter sent in, I withheld this bit,
as I didn't quite know whether this was intended (from mkpasswd's side)

   65   19353 [main] mkpasswd 1148 pwdgrp::read_group: Completing
/etc/group:
mkpasswd:S-1-5-21-1045767534-453787399-1741382010-513:401:canning

Just wondered what to reply with. Is it a simple matter of running mkgroup?
or mkpasswd?

Sorry if this sounds like a groan, I just don't want to reply with the wrong
answer as I quite often do ;-)
