I've found it.

That doesn't really work, I'm afraid.  If I do this, the UID get mapped
to the same space and stomp all over each other.  What is my user on one
machine is cyg_server on another and sshd on the third.  When I remove
the entries in the passwd file then I'm back to somwhow knowing that
this SID comes from another machine, but no way to know which.  Even for
those machines where my RID is the same, this gets mapped to
Unknown+User and Unknown+Group.  Somehow I'd need to be able to specify
a shift for each machine in order to tell them apart in the passwd/group
files, it seems.


Regards,
Achim.
