- Subject: /etc/passwd -> /proc/mkpasswd
I wonder if it would be possible to do something like this:
/etc/passwd -> /proc/mkpasswd
/etc/group -> /proc/mkgroup
These sym links would make the 2 files dynamic and would simplify setup
somewhat.
We could use a CYGWIN environment variable to set whether /proc/mkpasswd
would run with -l or -d or both
It would also be nice with we could perhaps use the SAM accounts
"description" field to set the home path and shell.
Just a thought,
Gérald
