I just completely wiped and reinstalled Cygwin, to test setup-2.249.2.10.
Will post further with results.

Something rather odd happened - here are the passwd and group files that
were created:

------- passwd --------------------------
SYSTEM:*:18:544:,S-1-5-18::
Administrators:*:544:544:,S-1-5-32-544::
-------- group --------------------------
SYSTEM:S-1-5-18:18:
-----------------------------------------

During the postinstall scripts, I saw a message saying "mkpasswd: cannot
contact domain controller for this domain". My computer is not in a domain.

It seems this is because `hostname` = "pomello" and $USERDOMAIN = "POMELLO".

passwd-grp.sh tests these for equality to determine whether to run
mkpasswd -d or not.

I guess this has been broken since the hostname-in-proper-case change to
Cygwin.


Max.
