Re: creating user in NT-Server

[Pavel Tsekov <ptsekov at syntrex dot com>]

Is the nt server you're talking about a domain controller ? if
so and you're loggin in the domain instead of the local domain 
ie the domain with the name of the workstation you're working on
try using mkpasswd -d YOUR_DOMAIN_NAME_HERE > /etc/passwd
