Domain users have had recurrent troubles with /etc/passwd.
Here is why, and a proposed remedy.
TODAY
The currently released setup.exe verifies if /etc/passwd exists.
If it doesn't, setup creates the file /etc/postinstall/passwd-grp.bat
which contains

It is put there by mkgroup -l

When you install via the installer (setup.exe) you can select a package

You may not see it in whatever XP calls the user manager but its there!

What happens when you run the inetd daemon normally (i.e. installing inetd
with `inetd --install')?

So it appears current setup.exe will cause this
problem on Win2K if it installs on top of an
exsisting installation.

I have been building cygwin, and after a reinstall of the complete

I have resolved it, sort of. In the process of linking dumper.exe,

Or rather
_dcgettext__, which used to be the internal name which was aliased to

That second one should have been _dcgettext.
