mkpasswd doesn't recognize me

mkpasswd doesn't recognize me

[Wiedmann, Jochen]

Hi,

in order to set my home directory correctly in /etc/passwd, I run

  mkpasswd | grep MYUSERID
  mkpasswd -d | grep MYUSERID
  mkpasswd -d -l | grep MYUSERID
  mkpasswd -l | grep MYUSERID


Neither of which returns any output.

Thanks,

Jochen

Run id and mkpasswd and see what they output for your account.
Also run net user <account> and see what that outputs for your account:
Full Name is the Windows logon alias for your account.

In the above order:

$ id

uid=<LONGNUMBER>(<MYDOMAIN>+<MYUSERID>) gid=<OTHERLONGNUMBER>(<MYDOMAIN>+Domain Users) groups=<LONG LIST OF GROUPS>

$ mkpasswd

Shows a long list of domain users, but doesn't include me. (This is what my original mail was all about.)

$ net user

Shows a short list of local (?) users, not including my account.
