Under 2.0 or 2.0.5? The "standard" way is to use vipw to edit the password file; this updates master.passwd and the password database. (Don't _EVER_ edit /etc/passwd any other way) Create & chown the user's home directory, and if you like, copy in the contents of /usr/share/skel and rename to suit. > I tried the adduser.sh script, also with negative results... adduser under 2.0 is broken; adduser under 2.0.5 is fine, although it tries to put every user into their own group 8( > marty leisner@sdsp.mc.xerox.com -- ]] Mike Smith, Software Engineer msmith@atrad.adelaide.edu.au [[ ]] Genesis Software genesis@atrad.adelaide.edu.au [[ ]] High-speed data acquisition and [[ ]] realtime instrument control (ph/fax) +61-8-267-3039 [[ ]] My car has "demand start" - Terry Lambert [[
