Message-ID: <3500515B75D9D311948800508BA379559509C4@EX-LONDON> (raw)
Cygwin fully supports domain users. just run `mkpasswd -d <domain name> >>
/etc/passwd` on each box.
(setup may run this automaticly these days i'm not sure so check if you
already have a list of domain users in your passwd file.)
