I did so myself, after reading the entire user's guide and knowing that mkpasswd was somehow involved. By "trivial", I meant that a cygwin newbie, scanning the FAQ questions and the User's Guide Table of Contents, would not find the mkpasswd -l command, and would not know about the -d switch. As a lurker on the cygwin list, that's about all I expect the typical new user to check before posting. I wish it were otherwise. Eric -- Want to unsubscribe from this list?
