Fresh install of cygwin 1.7.16 on Windows Server 2008 R2.  Trying to add my
domain users to /etc/passwd, but when I run mkpasswd I get (somewhat obfuscated):

$ mkpasswd -l -d CO-RA
SYSTEM:*:18:544:,S-1-5-18::
LocalService:*:19:544:U-NT AUTHORITY\LocalService,S-1-5-19::
NetworkService:*:20:544:U-NT AUTHORITY\NetworkService,S-1-5-20::
Administrators:*:544:544:,S-1-5-32-544::
TrustedInstaller:*:4294967294:4294967294:U-NT
SERVICE\TrustedInstaller,S-*::
Administrator:unused:500:513:U-FONT3\Administrator,S-*
Guest:unused:501:513:U-FONT3\Guest,S-*:/home/Guest:/bin/bash
sgeadmin:unused:1000:513:U-FONT3\sgeadmin,S-*:/home/sgeadmin:/bin/bash
mkpasswd (374): [2247] The security database is corrupted.

That message led me to trying to check the status to the secedit.sdb database
with esentutl but that checks out okay.

Any ideas?  TIA,

  Orion Poplawski
