I'm glad to read that.

No, it's not a flaw.  In case nobody tells mkpasswd what domain to
read, it defaults to the workstation domain.  That makes the most
sense.  If you have special needs and multiple domains, you have
to care fo that manually.  Your case is a bit problemtaic since
you're just moving from one domain to another domain and the user
name exists in both domains.  You wouldn't have seen this problem
if your workstation had been moved as well.
