Depends on how you define "harmless". We have a *huge* domain, and "mkpasswd -d" can take a very long time (20 - 30 minutes) to complete, so I definitely wouldn't want to run blindly run it with the -d option here. If it were implemented, it should be an option, at least. When I run mkpasswd here, I generally run it twice, once to get local machine accounts, and once with the -d *and* -u options to get a specific user's info from the domain. It might be useful with those options. Hmm, maybe I'll take a look at that. It would require some fields in the GUI though... --Rick __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
