Looks good so far.

An observation from my first test on a machine which is member of a domain:

mkpasswd -l and -L always print the HOST prefix.
mkpasswd -d and -D never print the DOMAIN prefix

This likely would break creation of local 'technical' user accounts in 
existing *-config scripts (possibly including the csih script):

e.g.:

   $ net user cyg_server PASSWORD /add
   $ mkpasswd -l -u cyg_server >> /etc/passwd

Result:

   $ id cyg_server
   id: cyg_server: no such user

   $ id THISHOST+cyg_server
   uid=....


Now on my wishlist: an nsswitch.conf option to change the 'print prefix' 
behavior for machines in a domain.

Christian
