I have not been actively watching this thread but if I'm correct we're
adding NIS like capabilities to Cygwin so that /etc/passwd can easily be
filled with say everybody in the domain? If so then bravo!
I also take it that it's not ready yet either. When it is, how would I
install it?
So I'd like to ask a few questions to which I'd like to have some brief
answers, kind of like a poll, to get a better idea how we should
proceed:
1. Shall we remove the leading '+' from the builtin account names
or shall we keep it?
2. Shall we stick to '+' as the separator char or choose another one?
If so, which one?
How about "@"?
3. Shall we keep the `db_prefix' variability or choose one of
the prefixing methods and stick to it? If so, which one, auto,
primary, or always?
Bonus question:
4. Should Cygwin downcase all usernames when generating the Cygwin
username, so, if your Windows username is 'Ralph', your Cygwin
username will be 'ralph'?
I say downshift them!
