No difference.  The entries I've got in /etc/group and /etc/passwd
look the same even when generated by the latest snapshot versions of
mkpasswd and mkgroup.

(BTW, in updating cygwin1.dll from the inst snapshot, I ended up with a
cygwin1.dll without execute permission.  So I can see where you got
your idea that it was a permission problem.  But in that case, I
couldn't start *any* Cygwin application at all.

Next time I bother with an inst snapshot I'll figure out exactly what
went wrong with those permissions, and add something to the FAQ in the
entry about installing snapshots.  It was the first time I'd done it
with ntsec on.)

Cheers,
David
