Remove the /etc/passwd and /etc/group files that have been created by the postinstall scripts or create an /etc/nsswitch.conf file that does not use the file database.

Possibly wrong Admin group ID in cygwin 1.7.34-003 (x64)
Hello ! While trying to install and run SSH daemon in cygwin I found the following strange behavior of cygwin's ID command (I did all my testing on a Windows 8 system freshly installed on a virgin virtual machine from the DVD image en_windows_8_enterprise_x64_dvd_917522.iso downloaded from MSDN). When I execute the command id -G first in a usual cygwin terminal window and then in a terminal window opened by right click - Run as administrator, the expected output is the same with the only difference: the admin output must have additional groups 0 and 544. That is exactly the case if I use cygwin package 1.7.33-1: Plain window: 197121 545 197610 Admin window: 197121 0 544 545 197610 But if I use the testing cygwin package 1.7.34-003 (available in the installer by clicking on cygwin package), then the group 544 doesn't appear anymore: Plain window: 197121 197610 545 4 66049 11 15 4095 66048 262154 401408 Admin window: 197121 197610 0 545 4 66049 11 15 4095 66048 262154 405504 Now I don't know if it's a bug, but some scripts assume that an admin shell can be identified by the number 544 in the output of id -G, so I'm sure something is very wrong here. Screenshots are available there: http://picpaste.com/win8-cygwin-1.7.33-1.png http://picpaste.com/win8-cygwin-1.7.34-003.png In both cases the first terminal is the plain one and the second is the admin one.
