Why does mkpasswd -c use a different offset? Corinna?

["Houder" <houder@xs4all.nl>]

Hi Corinna,

I am confused ... the output from mkpasswd -c is NOT the same as the output from mkpasswd -l -u <current user> on
both my "Cygwin-32" and my "Cygwin-64".

As an example, the output on my "Cygwin-64":

64-@@ uname -a
CYGWIN_NT-6.1 Seven 1.7.32(0.274/5/3) 2014-08-13 23:06 x86_64 Cygwin
64-@@ id
uid=1000(Henri) gid=513(None) groups=513(None),545(Users),1007(HelpLibraryUpdaters)

64-@@ grep Henri /etc/passwd
Henri:unused:1000:513:U-Seven\Henri,S-1-5-21-91509220-1575020443-2714799223-1000:/home/Henri:/bin/bash
64-@@ mkpasswd -l -u Henri
Henri:unused:1000:513:U-Seven\Henri,S-1-5-21-91509220-1575020443-2714799223-1000:/home/Henri:/bin/bash

64-@@ mkpasswd -c
Henri:unused:11000:10513:U-Seven\Henri,S-1-5-21-91509220-1575020443-2714799223-1000:/home/Henri:/bin/bash
64-@@ mkpasswd -C
Seven\Henri:unused:11000:10513:U-Seven\Henri,S-1-5-21-91509220-1575020443-2714799223-1000:/home/Henri:/bin/bash

Note the difference between the output from 'mkpasswd -l -u Henri' and 'mkpasswd -c' (i.c. uid and gid). It is
not what I expect (i.e. I do not understand).

Please, enlighten me ...

Thanks, Henri
