getent passwd %USERNAME%

With cygwin 3.6.2-1, I can start bash directly from a CMD window (though it
can't find programs, just built-ins).
Interestingly: after that test, that and reverting back to .1, my
.bash_history permissions seem to be wrong: instead of my AzureAD user as
the owner, Windows sees some other SID as owning the file and bash (in
cygwin) can't read it (eg., up-arrow doesn't go up past the start of the
instance of the shell, where it normally goes quite a bit further back in
time). As a workaround, I've given "everyone" rwx permissions, and it seems
to be working fine.
