I installed MariaDB (mysql fork) on my system, which per task manager

But Cygwin 3.7 from today cannot see the user "MariaDB", both getent

Any clues what I am doing wrong?
Did you create a local /etc/passwd file, say, through mkpasswd? If you did,
maybe long ago -- maybe you need to re-run it and update your passwd file.

Preferably delete it and possibly modify /etc/nsswitch.conf:
