*cool*, that's it.
maybe a flaw in mkpasswd asking the 'wrong' domain?

yepp, different valid accounts.

it's in the second strace... line 191:
2795  206514 [main] bash 5668 pwdgrp::load: \etc\passwd curr_lines 41803

4.0K	passwd
4.0K	passwd-ad1-useronly        (from script below)
856K	passwd-full-ad1            (mkpasswd -l -d AD1)
856K	passwd-full-ad1-homepath   (homepateh edited manually)
5.9M	passwd-full-default        (mkpasswd -l -d)
4.0K	passwd-useronly            (from script below w/o $logondomain)



thanks-a-lot
kind regards
Wolfgang


p.s.:
/etc/profile part for passwd generation is now:
...
  logondomain=$(net config workstation|awk '/Logon domain/{print $3}')
  mkpasswd -l > /etc/passwd
  mkpasswd -d $logondomain -p $homedrive/home -u $USER >> /etc/passwd
  echo passwd generated. please start a new shell.
  sleep 5
  exit


p.p.s.: using zsh with the wrong passwd has the same
'forget-the-first-shell' behaviour.
