Weird, really.  I just tried it again myself and it worked immediately.

What I'm doing is this:

- I'm *not* running cygserver.
- Open a mintty.
- Change the nsswitch.conf settings and save the file.
- Start another mintty to observe the effect.

If cygserver is not running, every new mintty session will see the
latest version of the nsswitch.conf file and create the passwd/group
entries from there.

I'm wondering if that's a side effect of using a NT4 domain.  This isn't
supported in Cygwin anymore for quite some time.  After all AD has
replaced NT4 15 years ago.  All the LDAP calls to fetch the AD attributes
won't work in an NT4 domain, for instance.

But even if all the calls to the DB fail, the /path scheme shouldn't be
affected.

For a start, can you run `strace -o getent.trace getent passwd anrdaemon
in a mintty session started *after* changing nsswitch.conf and send the
getent.trace file?  It might give some clue.


Thanks,
Corinna
