Yes, that was a mistake.  I would be mostely interested in experiences
(and anoyances) by dropping /etc/passwd and /etc/group.  The easiest
way to do that is NOT to move the files out of the way, but just
adding an /etc/nsswitch.conf file with this simple content:

passwd: db
group: db

And, having said that, I'd be really glad for more people reading and
ciriticising the preliminary documentation...

I can reproduce it.  This has nothing to with the account stuff, but
rather with a problem with the IPV6 definitions in the Mingw-w64 headers
I encountered lately, and which I had to workaround.  Unfortunately
it has unwanted side-effects.  Sigh.  I'm looking into it.


Thanks,
Corinna
