While trying to finish Cygwin config and running mkpasswd -l -d
and mkgroup, it fails with the following error
$ mkpasswd -l -u sorins -d /etc/passwd
sorins:unused:1012:513:sorins,U-JIRA\sorins,S-1-5-21-1179867521-3364476509-4149538525-1012:/home/sorins:/bin/bash
mkpasswd (87): [1212] The format of the specified domain name is invalid.
I tried even this option:
$ mkpasswd -l /etc/passwd
mkpasswd (374): [123] The filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is in correct.
- JIRA is the computer name and sorins is a Local Administrator
- This machine is part of domain

I think you want
i.e. redirect output to
/etc/passwd
