     Igor ,
     the user that cygwin considers is the windows user ,
     is it possible , to emulate multi user session system with cygwin ;
     make cygwin consider a /etc/passwd like file.
     allowing user switch using login command ?
     when i see to /bin , i don't see neither adduser , nor addgroup.

Saber,
     
I'm assuming you're only talking about auxiliary mounts, and that the main 
mounts ("/", "/usr/bin", and "/usr/lib") are the same for all bash 
instances.
     
Cygwin only supports two mount tables at a time for each user (one system 
table and one user table).  The system table is shared among all users. 
Aside from the fact that (as Rolf has pointed out) you don't really *need* 
to mount anything, the only way you can get separate mount tables in 
separate bash sessions is by running them as different users.  You could 
use either "ssh" or "at /interactive" to switch user contexts.  Don't 
forget to use "mount -u", or you'll be changing the system mount table.
        Igor
P.S. Your "Shift" key seems to be malfunctioning...
