When asked for a path just put in the root for the system (eg '/usr/local/apache'). Or you could do it long hand. Just use vipw and put in what ever you want. I put in the rootdir of the system so that things like ~apache have meaning. chris -- Chris Fedde 303 773 9134 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
