Hmm, I'm a bit irritated since actually it can't work, at least not as
you'd expect.  If a user token created by a password logon is not matching
the groups you added it to, the token is treated as invalid.  This would
happen, for instance, if the authenticating application (say, sshd), uses
setgroups(2) with an entirely different set of groups.  The result is that
a new token is created in Cygwin, which has nothing to do with the 
orinal password token.  Especially the new token is missing the network
credentials and the user is again running in the wrong logon session.
This is all a bit tricky.  Right now, I don't know if it's possible to
create a token with network credentials at all.
