UID's existing twice??? Its not uncommon for some admins to assign a uid to multiple users on a system. If you wish to not see those warnings when running adduser then set the -silent option as it tells you when you are adding the user and you won't have to see those messages. The output is showing you the uid and the crossed usernames to which are associated. If you didn't add those users and are concerned you should probably inquire with someone the purpose for their doing that. Its a strange concept to me honestly.. Though I can definitly see its use such as with the root and toor accounts on a freebsd system. --=20 Rob Andrews Administrator Cyberpunk Alliance http://www.cyberpunkz.org/ Minneapolis, MN --EeQfGwPcQSOJBaQU Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.6 (FreeBSD) Comment: For info see http://www.gnupg.org iD8DBQE7pa7jAXwJ9YLqJJURAshuAJ0cqBMAtLV0V483a+0f52L8nXy1WwCffEqE BVj9xnstf2pfySB1mA/M5mo= =D4zI -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --EeQfGwPcQSOJBaQU-- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
