Hello folks; I am trying to create a system user for a program to use. I haven't found any specific instructions for doing this in the FreeBSD manual or Absolute FreeBSD. The program exits with an error saying it can't create/write to a pid file. I believe it is the way I used adduser to create it and I don't know what I did wrong. I assigned it the class bin and disabled the password and assigned none as the home dir. To remove mystery it is MySQL I am trying to get running. This is the error file entry: starting server errors: 060417 17:38:49 [ERROR] /usr/local/mysql/libexec/mysqld: Can't create/write to file '/usr/local/mysql/var/AMD64-939.<domain>.pid' (Errcode: 13) 060417 17:38:49 [ERROR] Can't start server: can't create PID file: Permission denied 060417 17:38:49 mysqld ended Thanks in advance; jk
