In your:
--------

Cygwin Documentation

                               Cygwin User's Guide

The installation of  password and group will not work:
-----------------------------------------------------
Under Windows NT, if you want to create /etc/passwd and /etc/group (i.e.
so ls -l replaces the UID with a name) just do this:

 /$ cd /etc
 /etc$ mkpasswd > /etc/passwd
 /etc$ mkgroup > /etc/group
--------------------------------------------------

I think you should insert the -l Option like

/etc$ mkpasswd -l > /etc/passwd
 /etc$ mkgroup -l > /etc/group

I do not know wheter or not this bug is already reported.
