I just tested groups.t. It first failed since one of my groups
has a space in the name and the groups.t test is sensitive for
that, unfortunately. I changed the group name to not contain
spaces and then the test was ok running under both, a privileged
and a non-privileged user account.
This is with the current developers version of Cygwin, ntsec on.
