Sorry, I guess I'm still not being clear. When I did "runas /netonly /user:machine\user" followed by "mkpasswd -d machine -u user", I was trying to create a "passwd" entry for a user account that was local to the server named "machine". In other words, I was trying to access information about the "machine\user" local user account. I was not trying to access information about a domain user account. Perhaps I'm confusing things by using the example name "user" in both cases. Let me try restating it: "runas /netonly /user:domain1\userA" followed by "mkpasswd -d domain1 -u userA": works "runas /netonly /user:machine2\userB" followed by "mkpasswd -d machine2 -u userB": fails -- Matt Seitz Manager, File System Virtualization Cisco Systems, Inc. .:|:.:|:. -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
