Hello,

 How do I create a new user to cygwin in windows nt-server? I have
succesfully created new users in nt workstation by adding a user with the
User Manager but in NT-server the user manager is for domains and even if
i use it to create a local user (by setting the domain to the computer
name) and then run "mkpasswd -l > /etc/passwd" i still get "login failed"
when i try to relogin to cygwin using the "login" command. I checked the
/etc/passwd file and the users had been added there but for some reason I
still cant login with them. So what am I doing wrong and how is adding
users to nt-server different from nt workstation?

Thanks
