Shouldn't there be a tool in Cygwin that will give you the SID? After
all, it does have to read it too! I do like Sys Internals, but they add
regkeys which I don't like. Also, isn't setting the SID a bit static?
What would happen if I wanted to change usernames again? So I ask, is
there a way to dynamically change the value in /etc/passwd similar to
what I did with /etc/profile.d/user.sh?
