The main problem was, that a) our modified version of windows (CERN/NICE) doenst allow the creation of new users to the local computer, as such I had to add the domain user b) our domain has over 10000 users c) mkpasswd -d doesnt have a way of especifiying a particular user, only the whole list d) getting the whole list takes over 50 minutes (and still counting) Could the tool be rewriten as to have either - a way of especify a particular user from a domain that you want to add - a faster way of getting all the users of such a HUGE domain Cheers: Igor -- Igor Román Mariño -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
