RE: Re: upgrading broke cygwin?

["Val Schmidt" <vschmidt at ldeo dot columbia dot edu>]

I appreciate the help.  

It's not clear to me why either mkpasswd or mkgroup in my home directory
would cause the effects I and others have been seeing with the latest
version of cygwin. 

At any rate, here's the results of my ls -al on my home directory.  No
mkpasswd or mkgroup.

$ ls -al
