Hi and thank you for your response.

I am logged in as a Domain user that has administrative rights. I run the install and at the end I can see a command prompt window pop up and it runs mkpasswd with the -l option so /etc/passwd then has all the local users listed.

Then I bring up the cygwin bash shell and try to run mkpasswd with the -d option. It starts to run and lists the first 12 entries of the domain list and then just stops. As these first 12 entries are still in the A's I cannot get my account to be listed (which is under the S's.

Hope this helps

Serge

Are you logged on using a local user account of that machine, say,
Administrator or so?  If you want to ask for the list of domain users
you have to be a user of the domain.
