Since I can't reproduce this problem, would you mind trying to run getent under strace? It would be helpful to get 2 strace outputs for the same account, one working, one failing. Call it like this:
$ strace -o getent-1.trace getent passwd <account> Thanks, Corinna -- Corinna Vinschen Cygwin Maintainer --------------- Attached. Thank you
