An associate and I have found what we think may be a bug in the FreeBSD 3.0 version of pw. When running a script that contains pw from either cron or any other facility, pw fails to operate. For example, we have a script that is run as root by cron every five minutes. Every feature of this script executes correctly except for pw. When we run the script manually from the prompt (logged in as root) all works correctly. This problem does not appear to be related to cron as we also have an inetd process that calls the same script as root and fails on the pw sections. Can anyone confirm or deny if this is a problem? Has anyone else found this problem? Is there a way around it? ------------------------------------------ Bill Sandiford Jr. - Systems Administrator Interlinks - http://www.interlinks.net sysop@interlinks.net - bill@interlinks.net (905)404-0810 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
