Corinna,

Something came to my mind last night: the sid that your new code in
passwd.cc gets from the token should already be in user.sid (and 
user.orig_sid). Why not get it from there instead?

I also have a question: why does internal Cygwin code use 
strcasematch() instead of !strcasecmp()? I (ignorantly) used
strcasecmp() recently, it seems to work.

Pierre
