Does this mean there is no caching without cygserver running? > * Support for Cygwin user names different from the Windows username. This one always seemed a bit odd to me. The only use I could think up is if your Windows username contains non-ASCII or spaces and you'd want to avoid dealing with that within Cygwin. > * db_separator in /etc/nsswitch.conf I can't see a pressing need for configurable separators here. Domain users are probably already accustomed to seeing Domain\User, so that'd be a natural default unless somebody had a pretty good reason for something different.
