/etc/passwd dependency of cygwin


Hi,
How does cygwin library depend on uid's and gid's in /etc/passwd?
If I replace it with my custom /etc/passwd file and replace cygwin's seteuid/geteuid calls with custom implementation, will my application work?
How does cygwin internally uses uid's and gid's?
thanks,
Vishal
