Oops, I didn't answer to this question, but the answer is easy: It would be fine, if mkpasswd/mkgroup would give more information. Unfortunately, NT doesn't hand out this info voluntary! Another point: In grp.cc, there is created a default group entry everyone::500: which gives problems with ntsec. It would be better, to take the default group of NT, which also should be read from NT database, because of native language differences: None::513: [english/us] Kein::513: [german] Aucun::513: [french] etc. Regards, Corinna
