Hi,

Or: Has anything changed since I have been away (since W7) ? (Yes, Ha, ha,
of course) ... but I am referring to "Corinna's descr schema" - Ch3 UG.

Sorry for the weird e-mail address ... My name is Henri van de Water.

Bought a laptop and installed W11 (in order to be able to help my younger
brother with W11) ...

... and to satisfy my own curiosity, I installed Cygwin ... 

 - writing this from Linux
 - have been away from Cygwin since W7
 - irregularly skimming the Cygwin Mailing list

Back to W11 and Cygwin:

 - created a local account, named Henri (next to "Gally", the MS Account
   that is forced upon you since W11 24H2) - yes, I disabled DE ...
 - using the out-of-the box /etc/nsswitch.conf file
 - no /etc/{passwd,group} files

Now in W7, the following was possible:

 - net user Henri /comment:'<cygwin group="users"/>'

After restarting Cygwin ...

 - id would show 'Users' as the primary group ...
   id -g would show: 545
   id -gn would show: Users
 - getent passwd | grep Henri would show: Henri:*:<...>:545:U-...
 - mkpasswd -l | grep Henri would show: well, see previous line

This also applies to W11, except for the id command ...

The id command is still showing None as the primary group ... Huh?

What did I miss? (why has not anyone else been complaining about this?)

R. Henri
