I found the check program I had written and attach it FYI, have fun testing weird cases. Simple things, such as dumping /etc/passwd fields, can easily be done from a script, perhaps providing immediate feedback. I am off till late Sunday. It would be nice if a consensus could emerge on how to best solve the recurring problems faced by new users. I am convinced that a new setup.exe, with a new passwd-grp.sh and no passwd-grp.bat, would solve 90% of the problems. Meanwhile Cygwin has always made progress from experimentations and one could give a shot at what I tried in the latest patch. I am still interested to hear if "mkpasswd -l -c" provides a correct entry (the last line) for domain users, in all circumstances. Pierre
