But, I don't think it's the case with yours.
What is enumerated from SAM/AD by getent is controlled by /etc/nsswitch.conf entry db_enum which defaults to: # db_enum: cache builtin I changed my SAM, non-AD, non-domain system to: db_enum: cache local builtin Please read the rest of the info about db_enum in /etc/nsswitch.conf and set up your system accordingly. If you are in a domain with AD, it will be worth your while to configure and run cygserver service, under cygrunsrv, to cache your AD entries. Even if you are on a SAM, non-AD, non-domain system, if you run a lot of Cygwin processes, or use cron a lot, it will be worth your while to configure and run cygserver service, under cygrunsrv, to cache your SAM and process entries. If you run a lot of processes, it may be worth maximizing some entries in /etc/cygserver.conf: # kern.srv.cleanup_threads: No. of cygserver threads used for cleanup tasks. # Default: 2, Min: 1, Max: 16, command line option -c, --cleanup-threads #kern.srv.cleanup_threads 2 kern.srv.cleanup_threads 16 # kern.srv.request_threads: No. of cygserver threads used to serve # application requests. # Default: 10, Min: 1, Max: 310, command line option -r, --request-threads #kern.srv.request_threads 10 kern.srv.request_threads 310 # kern.srv.process_cache_size: No. of concurrent processes which can be handled # by Cygserver concurrently. # Default: 62, Min: 1, Max: 310, command line option -p, --process-cache #kern.srv.process_cache_size 62 kern.srv.process_cache_size 310 -- Take care.
