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
