Date: Fri, 12 Oct 2001 16:24:51 -0400 MIME-Version: 1.0 X-Mailer: Internet Mail Service (5.5.2650.21) Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Dear all, I am a newbie to cygwin here. Recently, I installed cygwin 1.3.3. I tried to turn on ntsec, however, when I run: mkpasswd -d > /etc/passwd mkpasswd traverses the whole directory tree of my company to get everyone's name. I have it run almost all day and mkpasswd still has not found my id yet. Is there any way to specify the 'user name' to be extracted from the domain directory? Is there a faster version of mkpasswd? BTW, using '| grep ' does not help because it takes as long to traverse the whole directory.
