in bash:

you might have to
 mount C:\\cygnus\\cygwin-b20\\H-i586-cygwin32\\etc /etc
first.
$ mkpasswd -l > /etc/passwd
$ mkgroup -l > /etc/group
and then, if running under NT, add 'ntea' to the CYGWIN environment variable
--8<-- cygnus.bat
SET MAKE_MODE=UNIX
SET CYGWIN=  binmode ntea mixed tty strip-title glob
SET HOME=C:
C:\cygnus\cygwin-b20\H-i586-cygwin32\bin\bash --login
--8<-- 
note that 2 spaces are necessary after the '='.

This might only work under NT .. ?
