With regard to: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/users-groups.html in Example 6-8, the output shows jru is a member of teamteo, a misspelling of teamtwo. Also "The argument to the -M is a comma-delimited list of users who are members of the group. If you've read the preceeding sections, you'll know that the password file also contains a group for each user; the group in the password file is automatically added to the group list by the system and will not (should not) appear in the list of members when using pw(8) to query group membership." I don't quite understand this, but I take it to mean that if user jru is specified to be in group jru from his password file, then if you "pw groupshow jru" then jru will not be listed. If this is right, you may want to clarify the sentence. When you say "will not appear" it refers to the group. But I *think* you mean the USER will not appear. Either way, it's a confusing paragraph. Anywany, thanks for providing the documentation! John Booker To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-doc" in the body of the message
