Hi,
I am unable to make mkpasswd/mkgroup to work on a Windows 2003 R2
Enterprise x64.
While trying to finish Cygwin config and running mkpasswd -l -d and
mkgroup, it fails with the following error:
$ mkpasswd -l -u sorins -d /etc/passwd
sorins:unused:1012:513:sorins,U-JIRA\sorins,S-1-5-21-1179867521-3364476509-4149538525-1012:/home/sorins:/bin/bash
mkpasswd (87): [1212] The format of the specified domain name is invalid.
I tried even this option:
$ mkpasswd -l /etc/passwd
mkpasswd (374): [123] The filename, directory name, or volume label
syntax is in
correct.
JIRA is the computer name and sorins is a Local Administrator
This machine is part of domain
The question was also posted to:

Thanks,
