Re: Testers needed: New passwd/group handling in Cygwin

I've installed that snapshot on my work laptop, part of AD domain. I
moved passwd and group out of the way and noticed my .bashrc is not
executed.

With 1.7.28:

Frank@PC205 ~
$ uname -a
CYGWIN_NT-6.1-WOW64 PC205 1.7.28(0.271/5/3) 2014-02-09 21:06 i686 Cygwin

Frank@PC205 ~
$ ls -l
total 86
-rw-------  1 Frank          Domeingebruikers  6759 2014-02-14 09:30
.bash_history
-rwxr-xr-x  1 Frank          Domeingebruikers  1150 2010-11-17 18:58

-rwxr-xr-x  1 Frank          Domeingebruikers  3814 2013-10-18 12:02 .bashrc*
<snip list of 26 files in total>

With snapshot without passwd/group:

Frank@PC205 ~
$ uname -a
CYGWIN_NT-6.1-WOW64 PC205 1.7.29s(0.271/5/3) 20140213 14:06:26 i686 Cygwin

-rwxr-xr-x  1 Frank           Domeingebruikers  38 13 feb 13:57 test.sh
<this is the complete list of files>

Most noticeable difference between the two are in the dates of the
files (The months are in Dutch, and not in "long-iso") and not showing
the dot-files. Among others, I have set an export LANG=en_US and an
alias for "ls" in my bashrc for that.

Reverting to 1.7.28 (with passwd/group) solved the problem.

Frank
