Huh?  Sorry, but I don't really grok the above.  It is usually recommended
to make your questions easy to understand when soliciting help.

Anyway, my WAG is to use NT's User Manager to create a user (group) called
"bin" and then use Cygwin's mkpasswd (mkgroup) to sync the /etc/passwd
(/etc/group) file.  PostgreSQL's createuser command creates database
users, so I don't see the connection here.

BTW, please keep your replies on-list.

Thanks,
Jason
