To explain the same thing twice in the same morning: SYSTEM is a local account; it has utmost (rooter-than-root) priviliges on your local machine but it's not a member of the domain and has no access rights there. Did you know you can combine both flags ? "mkpasswd -l -d" should work for you. cheers, DaveK -- Can't think of a witty .sigline today.... -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
