It does... if you stopped and restarted your Cygwin processes afterwards,
or in a new session if you start this one afterwards.  If not, the
existing processes will happily use what they have cached.

If you remove nsswitch.conf and passwd and group, you should still
see uid=197608(Warren) gid=545(Users) in id output now.

If not, I'll be puzzled no end and we will have to debug that.  That's a
threat, if you didn't notice ;)
