Subject:	mkpasswd -ld: The user name could not be found.

Hi folks,

Currently I am trying to create a valid /etc/passwd
using 'mkpasswd -ld >/etc/passwd'. But it dies with

	The user name could not be found.

Of course without telling me _which_ user it could
not find. Poor design :-(. Any idea how this can be
solved?

How can I tell mkpasswd to ignore all discrepancies
between Unix and Windows account information and list
at least the valid password entries?


Regards

Harri
