Well there is a users guide at http://www.cygwin.com/cygwin-ug-net/,
more exaktly (well to be honest I searched for "mkpasswd", and assumed
that the stuff about -d would be told)
http://www.cygwin.com/cygwin-ug-net/using-utils.html#MKPASSWD.

Or if you just type mkpasswd you will see which params you can throw,
maybe of interest..

After searching the FAQ for the phrase 'mkpasswd -d' I must report that
it does not exist within the FAQ. Do you have any other information on
where I can RTFM?

Have you considered RTFM? Or more specifically, the FAQ. Look for
"mkpasswd -d".

how does cygwin see what user I am in windows?

2002-02-17 Thread Mattias Brändström

Hi!

I have some questions about how cygwin determines what user I am logged 
in as on my Win2000 machine.

I have installed cygwin on my Win2000 machine and I am logged on that 
one as DOMAIN/userx. DOMAIN/userx is not a local user for my machine but 
a user in the domain DOMAIN. Now when I start cygwin 'id -un' reports 
that my username is Administrator and creates a home directory for me 
named /home/Administrator. That's not what I want. I want /home/userx as 
my home directory. Does anyone know how to accomplish this?

Regards,
Mattias
