Thanks for your advice. :) BTW: As it seems to be a general issue, couldn't mkpasswd or even the FAQ issue some warning about this? I would volunteer to write some paragraph about it or we could use the one burried in these usefull hints from Chuck Bogorad for non-cygwin32-users I've just found after I knew what I had to search for. ;) BTW2: Is there any Interest in posting the FAQ periodically to this list? IMHO it would save a lot of time if everyone always had the up-to-date FAQ without having to ftp- or www-download it. I would volunteer for that, too. bye Michael - For help on using this list (especially unsubscribing), send a message to "gnu-win32-request AT cygnus DOT com" with one line of text: "help".
