When running
mkpasswd -l -d
I get the error:
mkpasswd (249): [5] Access is denied.
See below bash session:
scmcron@c7mkes132 ~
$ date; uname -a
Wed Mar 2 10:37:14 CST 2005
CYGWIN_NT-5.2 c7mkes132 1.5.13(0.122/4/2) 2005-03-01 11:01 i686 unknown unknown Cygwin
scmcron@c7mkes132 ~
$ mkpasswd -l -d >/etc/passwd
mkpasswd (249): [5] Access is denied.
scmcron@c7mkes132 ~
$ echo $CYGWIN
binmode tty ntsec smbntsec
The command *does* list all local users ok ("mkpasswd -l" has no
error), "mkpasswd -d" takes minutes to error out, but does output a
substancial subset of the domain users. I've also tried uninstalling
cygwin and loading a much older version that I trust; I get the same
error.
This is the *first* time I've installed cygwin in this particular
active directory domain. It works in two other active directory
domains just fine. I'm not a domain administrator - what rights do I
need ask our corporate admins to give my account so "mkpasswd -l -d"
completes w/o error? (I *am* a local administrator.)
