Kirk, Thank you for your informative response. As I mentioned before, I am new to both Unix and FreeBSD. Can you tell me how to rebuild the password file? What are the steps involved?

I've never rebuilt the password db after editing /etc/group. I think you may've mentally crossed a file or two. :) BTW, if you use 'vipw' to edit your passwd file, you don't have to manually rebuild anything. -- Kirk Strauser The Strauser Group - http://www.strausergroup.com/ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
