Greetings, Corinna Vinschen!

> Here's what you get:

I finally realized, what was tingling me all this time.
The implicit fallback mechanics. I'd rather want to have explicit declaration
and a failure message in case something isn't right. Much easier to fix system
issues, when the system tell you about them.
Shouldn't be a big change, considering you already have all the facilities in
order to make it works.

>   db_home: unix @msTSHomeDirectory /home/%u

>     Try the unixHomeDirectory attribute first.  Empty?  Try the
>     (otherwise unused) msTSHomeDirectory attribute.  Empty?  Fall back
>     to /home/$USER (Cygwin username).

>   db_gecos: @comment /Hallo%_%U

>     Try the comment attribute.  Empty?  Fall back to the string
>     "Hallo <Windows username>".  Example passwd entry:

>       corinna:*:1049577:1049701:Hallo
> corinna,U-MY_DOM\corinna,S-1-5-21-yada-yada:/home/corinna:/bin/bash

> Is this new stuff basically clear?  Questions?

> Please give it a try.
