513/None shows up in my '/etc/group' file. Try running 'mkgroup -l -d'.


However, I've just recently noticed that 513 is the end of the well known
SID (RID?) builtin for Domain Users -- and my machine is attached to
a domain (though cygwin doesn't seem to be able to read them for some
reason (likely some server misconfiguration)...but.  But if it is known
that '513' is associated with Domain Users, why does cygwin put in 'None'?

10513 is "Domain Users".
