Yes, and that's why the unshadow program is available on Windows builds.

The approach you've described above and the specific command look fine
to me. This should have worked. My guess is that you made a typo on
the command line. Please try again. If you continue to run into this
problem, please copy & paste an excerpt of your shell session into a
followup posting to this mailing list. The excerpt should show the
specific filenames you have (e.g., run "dir" in a "DOS window", or
"ls -l" in bash if you have Cygwin installed), your "unshadow ..."
command, and its exact output (please do use copy & paste, don't just
re-type what you see into an e-mail message).
I hope this helps.
