Always prints the standard well-known users, even when just requesting a
single user's entry:

$ uname -a
CYGWIN_NT-5.1 VMWARE-XP 1.7.0(0.186/5/3) 2008-08-15 15:17 i686 Cygwin

$ mkpasswd -l -u cwilson
SYSTEM:*:18:544:,S-1-5-18::
LocalService:*:19:544:U-NT AUTHORITY\LocalService,S-1-5-19::
NetworkService:*:20:544:U-NT AUTHORITY\NetworkService,S-1-5-20::
Administrators:*:544:544:,S-1-5-32-544::
cwilson:unused:1036:513:cwilson,U-VMWARE-XP\cwilson,S-1-5-21-3395897280-1512205858-4128055458-1036:/home/cwilson:/bin/bash

So, after running (a modified) ssh-host-config on a clean system --
which added sshd and cyg_server users -- I now have three copies of
SYSTEM et. al. in my /etc/passwd.  So, iu-config complained loudly.
