Thank you very much! Using: runas /netonly /user:domain\user "cmd" and then: cd \cygwin cygwin.bat mkpasswd -d domain -u user >> /etc/passwd did the trick! For extra credit, I tried the same thing to try to add a user from a stand-alone server (not a member of any domain). Unfortunately, running mkpasswd -d machine -u user again gave the error: mkpasswd (749): [1355] The specified domain either does not exist or could not be contacted. But I can live without that for now. -- 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/
