When running
mkpasswd -l -d
I get the error:
mkpasswd (249): [5] Access is denied.
See below bash session:

$ mkpasswd -l -d >/etc/passwd

$ echo $CYGWIN
binmode tty ntsec smbntsec
The command *does* list all local users ok ("mkpasswd -l" has no
error), "mkpasswd -d" takes minutes to error out, but does output a
substancial subset of the domain users. I've also tried uninstalling
cygwin and loading a much older version that I trust; I get the same
error.
This is the *first* time I've installed cygwin in this particular
active directory domain. It works in two other active directory
domains just fine. I'm not a domain administrator - what rights do I
need ask our corporate admins to give my account so "mkpasswd -l -d"
completes w/o error? (I *am* a local administrator.)
