Hi Corinna,
As I saw no response to your latest call for testers, I decided to test it
myself ... (x86-XP, SP3).
- setup "Cygwin" (base) in a different directory
- applied tar ball (17/2 snapshot) as instructed at
http://cygwin.com/faq-nochunks.html#faq.setup.snapshots
After I had set up /etc/nsswitch.conf as follows
db_enum: files
the output of getpwent and getgrent looked "familiar" to me. (though the
output of 'id' is not).
However, after I had modified /etc/nsswitch.conf as follows
db_enum: local
getpwent crashed (segment violation) ...
