RE: mkpasswd -l gives wrong local user

["Rockefeller, Harry" <harryr at ssd dot fsi dot com>]

Thanks for the help.
I set up both passwd and group files using -d option.

Now when I "ls -l" my cygwin home directory I find these
files owned by "dickra".  I believe this is "Ryan Dick"
an employee here.  Perhaps NTUSER.DAT is causing the
"mkpasswd -l" to create a "Ryan" user.

  d---------+  2 dickra   Domain Users       0 Aug  7  2006 .Trash-root
  ----------+  1 dickra   Domain Users 5505024 Apr  6 12:14 NTUSER.DAT

I fixed the .Trash-root ownership problem but hesitant to approach
NTUSER.DAT problem.  What is a recommended way to fix this?
