Fwd: Cygwin mkpasswd giving The format of the specified domain name is invalid

Hi, I am unable to make mkpasswd/mkgroup to work on a Windows 2003 R2 Enterprise x64. While trying to finish Cygwin config and running mkpasswd -l -d and mkgroup, it fails with the following error: $ mkpasswd -l -u sorins -d /etc/passwd
