Right. That's by design. -D is deprecated. -L of the new mkpasswd/ mkgroup (which hopefully are not used by users a lot in future) only prefix *foreign* machines. Otherwise the naming rules of the underlying Cygwin SAM/AD naming rules are strictly followed so that a defaultt passwd or group file will be identical to the output generated by the "db" mechanism[1]. > This likely would break creation of local 'technical' user accounts in > existing *-config scripts (possibly including the csih script): The csih scrip needs a thorough kick anyway. I'm working on and off on that, but it's not easy due to a couple of very ingrained assumptions not valid anymore. I hope to get a new csih working next week. > Now on my wishlist: an nsswitch.conf option to change the 'print prefix' > behavior for machines in a domain. I disabled this deliberately[1].
