The remaining problem is the special handling of root. I guess it's best to create the /etc/group entry already in mkgroup. For mkpasswd it might be best, to add a special handling like this: If a Windows user "root" exists, give it the uid 0.
any chance you can poke the base-passwd script soon, to check for a user and a group with SID S-1-1-0 in the existing /etc/passwd and /etc/group files and remove them silently?
Also it would be good if the script adds the following entry to /etc/group, if possible as the first line:
root:S-1-5-32-544:0:
I currently have an entry in /etc/passwd: root:unused_by_nt/2000/xp:500:513:U-SCARFF-BOX\root,S-1-5-21-1606980848-1563985344-1060284298-500:/home/root:/bin/bash
