The fallback mechanism is pretty much required to have a sane default which works for home users without having to change nsswitch.conf at all. Also, not everybody will want error messages rather than some sane fallback (for any given value of "sane"), while if you don't want a sane fallback, you can easily create an unsane fallback to help you maintain your solution, e.g. db_home: cygwin /invalid/read-only-path Corinna -- Corinna Vinschen Please, send mails regarding Cygwin to Cygwin Maintainer cygwin AT cygwin DOT com Red Hat
