    Forgot to get back on this.  But why would the above be a problem. 
It never
used to be and I have found it to be very useful.

    I tried the above, BTW, and was surprised at the changes!


    Had a related question.  I made changes to my /etc/password and
/etc/group
files.  I seem to remember how those files were read by cygwin when it
was first starting, but I don't remember how to propagate changes in
those files into
cygwin.  Is there a way to send a command to one of the demons to reread
those files?

Thanks!
