I don't know how to tell if those files are broken.
/etc/nsswitch.conf has only comments.

Interestingly, this problem did not occur at work, Windows 7
Enterprise, 64-bit.  Perhaps one of passwd/group is broken at home,
but not at work?

Is there a way to re-create either /etc/passwd and/or /etc/groups as
if I were installing Cygwin from scratch (but not actually doing
that)?  The install was done before the ACL changes, so I don't know
if either file was (or needs to be) "transformed".

- Jim
