Why? What is missing from the standard Cygwin package?

Create and/or edit your /etc/passwd and /etc/group files to fix the

lusrmgr.msc and secpol.msc are standard Windows 2000 MMC snap-ins to
manage users and security policies, respectively. They are not part of
Cygwin. You can also find them under:

Start/Programs/Adminitrative Tools/Local Security Policy
