I was trying to add a user named '2grnflcn' to my system via /stand/sysinstall and was given the error that this user already exists. I checked with vipw to make sure I wasn't being absent minded, and the user is not there. If there is a valid reason this account can't exist, then sysinstall needs to give a more informative response. My system was updated prior to compile on: FreeBSD shadows.ghostwheel.com 3.0-CURRENT FreeBSD 3.0-CURRENT #9: Sun Jan 10 10:43:20 PST 1999 merlin@shadows.ghostwheel.com:/usr/src/sys/compile/SHADOWS i386 A manual useradd worked correctly with the same information. -ck To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
