One thing to check for this problem is that you are running the right shell.
mkpasswd defaults to setting everyones shell to be /bin/sh which has this
problem. Its easy to edit the passwd file and manually change the shells, or
even easier to delete /bin/sh and replace it with a copy of /bin/bash and
never have to worry about it again (you will probably have to do this from
windows).
Hope this helps,

PLEASE, refrain from non-standard installation suggestions. PLEASE,
DON'T copy /bin/bash to /bin/sh. It'll only serve to cause you grief
someday when you update and ash has a new version and now your scripts
won't work anymore. There are other reasons for having the default sh
== ash, the main one of which is speed of execution of scripts and that
includes make scripts.

In that case is there a way for mkpasswd to maintain shell choice?

Hmm... Since it's a war ;), how about
cat << EOD > /etc/passwd.ex
%s%/bin/sh%/bin/bash%
exit
EOD
vi -s /etc/passwd.ex -es /etc/passwd
rm /etc/passwd.ex

I certainly never meant to start a scripting war, I was thinking more along
the lines of an undocumented switch to mkpasswd....

The concept of "undocumented" really doesn't apply to a free software project.
>(Im still waiting for the perl one liners)
Hey! Good idea!
#!/usr/bin/perl -pi.bak
BEGIN {@ARGV = ('/tmp/passwd'); system ("./mkpasswd");} s%/bin/sh%/bin/bash%;

/etc
I actually tested this script before submitting it but, somehow, I didn't
want it to be modifying my existing /etc/passwd file.

Please read the FAQ before posting. This is answered in the first
paragraph.

There is no Win95/Win98 version. There's just cygwin.

There is only one version that runs on Win95 through Win2000. Install it
using setup.exe (available at http://cygwin.com/ ) and you should get all you
need.

Cygwin runs fine on WinME. I have it running at home. In fact, I use
inetd to run telnetd on my machine at home, and I can telnet into
it from work (Of course I have to ssh to my DMZ machine, and then
I can telnet into it...) The telnet session has some problems
(like the PS1 strings don't "expand"), but I can telnet in, find a I want/need,
copy it to my shared drive on my linux fileserver, and then scp the
file to work, where I can access information that I might need.
Kind of slick, in my opinion.....
