Sorry, I guess I'm still not being clear.  When I did "runas /netonly
/user:machine\user" followed by "mkpasswd -d machine -u user", I was
trying to create a "passwd" entry for a user account that was local to
the server named "machine".  In other words, I was trying to access
information about the "machine\user" local user account.  I was not
trying to access information about a domain user account.

Perhaps I'm confusing things by using the example name "user" in both
cases.  Let me try restating it:

"runas /netonly /user:domain1\userA" followed by "mkpasswd -d domain1 -u
userA":  works
"runas /netonly /user:machine2\userB" followed by "mkpasswd -d machine2
-u userB":  fails
