Euh ... well, all right (in case of 1.7.34 and beyond).

Downloaded base-cygwin, looked at the bottom of 000-cygwin-post-install.sh

# Create /etc/mtab as symlink to /proc/mounts
[ ! -L "${MTAB}" ] && ln -sf /proc/mounts ${MTAB}

# Create default /etc/passwd and /etc/group files
if [ ! -e /etc/passwd -a ! -L /etc/passwd ] ; then
  mkpasswd -l -c > /etc/passwd
  chmod 644 /etc/passwd
  chgrp --silent root /etc/passwd      # anybody home? root?
fi
if [ ! -e /etc/group -a ! -L /etc/group ] ; then
  mkgroup -l -c > /etc/group
  chmod 644 /etc/group
  chgrp --silent root /etc/group       # anybody home? root?
fi

Am I missing something?

Henri
