Subject: RE: Installing Cygwin on classified [non-networked] computers
Date: Wed, 4 Sep 2002 20:15:10 +0100
MIME-Version: 1.0

just thought i'd mention that until i ran 
mkpasswd -d -u my.username >> /etc/passwd
I had the username Administrator for my domain account on my machine within
a domain.
could we possibly have 
mkpasswd -d -u %USERNAME%
added to the passwd-grp.bat postinstall script ?
