As I mentioned in my last mail, it's only a problem if you wish to
use the `ntsec' feature. In this case it's essential that your
passwd and group files are generated according to the SAM of your
NT domain. If you're a domain member,
call `mkpasswd -g -d YOURDOMAIN > /etc/passwd'
and  `mkgroup -d YOURDOMAIN > /etc/group'
else
call `mkpasswd -g -l > /etc/passwd'
and  `mkgroup -l > /etc/group'.

Nothing. You may still use the old headers and libraries. In this case
you will not get the new features but your new compiled apps are still
compatible to B20.1. If you use the new headers and libs, your new apps
would only run with newer snapshots (since b21.0.8 of late Dec-98).

Ok, read it as `CYGWIN=... nontsec ...'
