Oops, I didn't answer to this question, but the answer is easy:
It would be fine, if mkpasswd/mkgroup would give more information.
Unfortunately, NT doesn't hand out this info voluntary!
Another point: In grp.cc, there is created a default group entry
everyone::500:
which gives problems with ntsec. It would be better, to take the default
group of NT, which also should be read from NT database, because of native
language differences:
None::513: [english/us]
Kein::513: [german]
Aucun::513: [french]
etc.
