Hi, John-
Since I myself have no idea why it is outputting that
message, no I cannot suggest a better message. And I
notice that when I did a fresh installation of cygwin
and cygwin/x on a brand new system yesterday, now I am
getting that message too. Do _you_ have any idea why
fresh installations did not used to output this
message, but now they do? Is it a new message, or did
something change in cygwin or cygwin/x, such that the
group now gets initialized to 'mkpasswd' (and did not
get so initialized before)?

And now I can add, I _know_ I did not set it to that,
yet now I get the message too, when starting up the
bash shell.
