Hi Corinna,
I see no difference from before
$ cat passwd

That's weird. In my environment,
$ cat /etc/passwd | grep yano
yano:*:197609:545:U-EXPRESS5800-S70\yano,S-1-5-21-1515853178-1880514851-1804962447-1001:/home/yano:/bin/tcsh

Should you not check `getent passwd $USER` and `net user $USER` rather than
{,/etc/}passwd, as the former are Cygwin and Windows output while the latter are
Cygwin input?
