This applies mostly to groups you created since the standard groups will still have the same number in the entries. I don't really know inner-works, but notice that both groups and user ids have a number in the respective user and group tables. This may be a good time to remind you the importance of backups. :-) ---- francisco@natserv.com The power to serve. http://www.freebsd.org To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
