The idea is that local /etc/passwd and /etc/group file takes precedence.
If you have passwd and group entries matching your SIDs, Cygwin won't
ask Windows for them.

The bigger picture is to allow system admins to set this up via AD.  The
easiest (and home-user friendliest) way is to utilize the description
and homedir fields in the AD or local SAM user entries to configure
another username, the shell, and the homedir.

As far as AD is concerned, I'm mulling over the idea to fetch the
information for all this from the UNIX attributes, but that requires to
access AD via ADSI, afaik, so it's something for later.  I'm also not
quite sure if the UNIX attributes are only available after installing
the "Identity Management for UNIX" role on the server...
