I can not change passwords either as it says "passwd: error opening database: /etc/pwd.db." vipw is not found and the man pages haven't been installed! I would really appreciate any help you could provide. Regards, S.THAO -- ------------------------------------------------ Stephane THAO s.thao@usa.net Information Systems Dept.
