Hartmann" To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Subject: trouble with adduser Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Hello. I have much problems with my login configuration. First, when adding new users via adduser, adduser does not update the /etc/group file! Whenever I added new users, I had to modify the /etc/group file by hand. The othe problem is login. When users are not in any valid group in /etc/group, they can not log in! I reported this problem times before, but with no effect or no response. I added some lines in login.conf and login.access. They work well with my configuration, but there are some groups which have never permissions to log in although I never explicitely excluded them. I checked syntax, checked the logical "way of being processed", but never found a problem. Doing some strange things with one group that works fine wont work with another group that comes later on in the /etc/group file so I suspect the group file containing a character I can not see. How can I check and proof that? Has anybody similar problems and solutions? Any tip, hint or solution is highly appreciated! Oliver Gruss O.
