I've not been able to get any effect from the recommended mkpasswd and 
mkgroup commands in recent years, on about 4 separate installations. 
There are no error messages, simply no effect.  I haven't seen it as an 
issue to be raised, as it didn't have any obvious negative effect.  I 
assumed it might be partly that, in the case of the laptop, operation 
both when connected and disconnected from a domain might not have any 
particular support.
