Hello,

after upgrading cygwin64 on my company laptop, mintty gives the following
message *when connected to the network from home*:

/sbin/nologin: No such file or directory

Pressing enter closes the window.

I can start bash from Windows' command window.  From there, I see that there
is no /sbin/nologin file, heck there is no /sbin either.

A couple of data points:
- After the upgrade, I renamed away the /etc passwd and group files.
- I was able to open mintty while connect to the network at work


I have an almost identical setup on my other windows 7 desktop (always
connected to the network) that does not exhibit this problem.

I saw some posts from 2011 about creating my own file but I am puzzled
as to why I see this on my laptop and not on my desktop.

I looked in Windows logs and saw nothing.  I saw nothing in /var/log

Thanks,

Mirko
