Dear All,

after installing cygwin all the NT users that existed before running setup.exe have been migrated into my /etc/passwd file and I can run bash --login as them.

I wish for an NT user that I've since created to have the same ability.

How do I migrate this newly created NT user over to cygwin / /etc/passwd?

TIA

Craig.
