hi
mkpasswd has a problem with special paths like \\server\user$
it seems that windows quotes the $ with $ (so it gives $$)
below is a patch which changes the behaviour of mkpasswd, but it probably has to be
fixed elsewhere
(it does of course only work with mkpasswd -m)
$ diff -up mkpasswd.c.orig mkpasswd.c
