If that is the case, then there is a bug in csih_old_cygwin:
build@wx64lg /usr/share/csih
$ uname -a
CYGWIN_NT-6.1 wx64lg 1.7.34(0.285/5/3) 2015-02-04 12:14 x86_64 Cygwin
build@wx64lg /usr/share/csih
$ less cygwin-service-installation-helper.sh
build@wx64lg /usr/share/csih
$ . cygwin-service-installation-helper.sh
build@wx64lg /usr/share/csih
$ csih_old_cygwin
build@wx64lg /usr/share/csih
$ echo $?
1
My nsswitch.conf is the default:
$ cat /etc/nsswitch.conf
# /etc/nsswitch.conf
#
# This file is read once by the first process in a Cygwin process tree.
# To pick up changes, restart all Cygwin processes. For a description
# see https://cygwin.com/cygwin-ug-net/ntsec.html#ntsec-mapping-nsswitch
#
# Defaults:
# passwd: files db
# group: files db
# db_home: cygwin desc
# db_shell: cygwin desc
# db_gecos: cygwin desc

csih_use_file_etc returns 0 on my system (as it should with no passwd file,
right?)
Uhm, no. It should return 0 if you *use* the files (0 == true in the
shell), That should be only the case if you're running Cygwin 1.7.33
or if your nsswitch.conf file says so. What's the content of your
/etc/nsswitch.conf?
