First: Reply only to the cygwin AT cygwin DOT com mailing list.  You are having a
conversation with the mailing list, not with me.

Second: You did not try the command:

> > mkpasswd -u $USER -d >> /etc/passwd
>
> I just tried this but I got  the following error msg.
>
> $ mkpasswd -u $USER -d /etc/passwd
> mkpasswd: [2453] Could not find domain controller for this domain.
