While we're at it... do we really need the gecos info? Cygwin fills out this field with the Windows username and SID info for internal purposes, and then adds the gecos info from AD. However, it's just informational and usually only used by the finger(1) tool. Shall I just remove fetching the gecos fields from AD entirely?
