Hi Cygwin friends and users,
I just released a 6th TEST version of the next upcoming Cygwin release,
1.7.33-0.6.
Looks good so far.
An observation from my first test on a machine which is member of a domain:
mkpasswd -l and -L always print the HOST prefix.
mkpasswd -d and -D never print the DOMAIN prefix
This likely would break creation of local 'technical' user accounts in
existing *-config scripts (possibly including the csih script):
e.g.:
$ net user cyg_server PASSWORD /add
$ mkpasswd -l -u cyg_server >> /etc/passwd
Result:
$ id cyg_server
id: cyg_server: no such user
$ id THISHOST+cyg_server
uid=....
Now on my wishlist: an nsswitch.conf option to change the 'print prefix'
behavior for machines in a domain.
Christian
