No! Who told you that? As long as you use the user account name the way it's called in Cygwin (`getent passwd ...' is helpful), and as long as you use it case-sensitive when logging in via ssh, you doe't need /etc/passwd. You only need this file to cover special cases like using different names for the same user account. Please have a look into http://cygwin.com/cygwin-ug-net/ntsec.html. It's pretty much all explained there. Well, except for the fact that OpenSSH handles the username case-sensitive, but that's an OpenSSH issue, not a Cygwin issue.
