Hi Corinna,
On my stand-alone machine (using the test release), the output from 'mkpasswd'
is NOW different from the one
from 'mkpasswd -l' ... They used to be the same ...
Earlier on the output of 'mkpasswd -l' was different from the one from
'mkpasswd -l <machine>'; not anymore ...
I cannot tell anymore (from what I have read on the mailing list) what to
expect ...
Should 'mkpasswd -l' show an output that is different from the one that
'mkpasswd' shows ?????

Usage: mkpasswd [OPTIONS]...
Write /etc/passwd-like output to stdout
Don't use this command to generate a local /etc/passwd file, unless you
really need one. See the Cygwin User's Guide for more information.
Options:
-l,--local [machine] Print local user accounts of "machine",
from local machine if no machine specified.
Automatically adding machine prefix for local
machine depends on settings in /etc/nsswitch.conf.
...
Default is to print local accounts on stand-alone machines, domain accounts
on domain controllers and domain member machines.
