Hi Corinna, I am having the same issue, but from a fresh install of cygwin64.
I also tried you recommendation, but it did not work. I tried with just files instead of db as well, with the same results. There are no passwd or group files in the etc folder, so I don't know if this is any relevant information either. I would rather not post the results of the 'id' command publicly, so if possible, I would gladly provide them if you contact me directly or give me another mean to provide them.
