Hi, Larry, yes, it does (could reproduce that on my system - W7)

Agreed.

Perhaps the real question is why Ilya believes he has no group file? He is quite certain, that he has a clean
installation of Cygwin. If so, I cannot explain the output he got from /usr/bin/ssh-host-config ...

(btw, I cannot explain why ssh-host-config references /etc/group unconditionally; it might not exist, because
 as far as I know ... it will only be there if the user has created the file - starting 1.7.34)

(my last entry, yes, otherwise I will have to subscribe myself to the list ... yes, I know)
