Re: Can you modify how Cygwin prepends domain name to username?

Hi Linda,

The plus character is the default separator for mkpasswd.

In the help for it (mkpasswd -h), you will see

   -S,--separator char     For -L use character char as domain\user
                           separator in username instead of the default '+'.

??? Really?
But how is that compatible with Win's USERNAME?  ...
I even use Domain\User on my linux domain server!  So that would
conflict, by default.  When I login to linux from win, it logs in
as Domain\User.  Not entirely right for a PDC but at least somewhat
consistent.  Domain+User would be entirely broken.

Yes -- I have added '\' to my allowed userID set on linux
in /etc/login.defs.
