Subject: Fwd: Cygwin mkpasswd giving The format of the specified domain name is invalid
To: cygwin AT cygwin DOT com
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8

Hi,

I am unable to make mkpasswd/mkgroup to work on a Windows 2003 R2
Enterprise x64.

While trying to finish Cygwin config and running mkpasswd -l -d and
mkgroup, it fails with the following error:

$ mkpasswd -l -u sorins -d /etc/passwd
sorins:unused:1012:513:sorins,U-JIRA\sorins,S-1-5-21-1179867521-3364476509-4149538525-1012:/home/sorins:/bin/bash
mkpasswd (87): [1212] The format of the specified domain name is invalid.

I tried even this option:

$ mkpasswd -l /etc/passwd
mkpasswd (374): [123] The filename, directory name, or volume label
syntax is in
    correct.

JIRA is the computer name and sorins is a Local Administrator
This machine is part of domain

The question was also posted to:
http://serverfault.com/questions/506369/cygwin-mkpasswd-giving-the-format-of-the-specified-domain-name-is-invalid

Thanks,
Sorin
