wget, ssh, ... and cygwin 1.7 issues

[Paul McFerrin]

Corinnia:
I finally got cygwin 1.7 swapped-in to try to reproduce my problem.  
Good news, after a few hours of pinging a website, ZERO ERRORS for now.  
Since it is an intermittent error, I'll let it run at 6 seconds interval 
until tomorrow.

Now some issues raised with 1.7 .................
$ ls -l /etc/passwd /etc/group
-rwxrwxrwx+ 1 UNKNOWN mkpasswd 74 Feb 25 23:42 /etc/group
-rwxrwxrwx+ 1 UNKNOWN mkpasswd 81 Jan 11 19:06 /etc/passwd

For BOTH files having write access by everyone, any attemps to edit the 
files with "vim" will result on a permament block on OPEN.  No EPERM 
error code.  Now I did NOT upgrade anything elso but just replacing 
cygwin1.dll file.  I was able to append a new-line to the group file.  
When editing group file, "vim group" became "vim -u NONE group" is 
procps output.

As I was reading 1.7 docs on mkpasswd & mkproup, I didn't see any way to 
specify a UID or GID when creating the entry.  Otherwise, things are 
looking up.  With my two web servers running fine.
