How do I reinstall /etc/passwd & /etc/group to it's initial state? In a fit
of efficiency I deleted some entries in both files to find out (later) that
they apparently allow correct display of GID and UID for system files. Is
there any way to recover the original other than deleting Cygwin and
starting afresh? (I did try a reinstall with no applications without
success.)

% man mkpasswd % mkpasswd {options-as-needed} >/etc/passwd

% man mkgroup
% mkgroup {options-as-needed} >/etc/group
