Absence of mkgroup and mkpasswd man pages


After installing a new machine with cygwin, it displayed the message:

    Your groupname is currently "mkgroup_l_d".  This indicates
    that not all users and groups are listed in /etc/passwd and
    /etc/group files.
    See the man pages for mkpasswd and mkgroup then, for example, run
    mkpasswd -l -d > /etc/passwd
    mkgroup -l -d > /etc/group
    This message will only be displayed once.

Unfortunately, though, "man mkgroup" or "man mkpasswd" do not work, they're are no man pages for these utilities.

(I could just use the Unix version from the net, but are there any cygwin specifics?  I expect there are)

The install was done via setup.exe today, installing all the default packages.
The output of cygcheck -r -s -v
is attached.
