Is nobody using XP home edition in combination with cygwin?


Can anybody with xp home edition create a user, throw it out of the group users


So  first Creat a user in Windows just with the graphical user accounts 
manager from the control panel in windows. 

Then throw it out of the group users.

you can do this in a windows cmd box with. 

net localgroup users USERNAME /DEL

And after that do a mkpassword and mkgroup in cygwin 

mkuser -l > /etc/passwd   
mkgroup -u -l > /etc/group

login (via ssh preferably)  as that user and give the command 

$groups

Is it according to cygwin still in the group users ?
If so is this a behaviour of XP home edition?
Does this allso happen in XP professional?
