But this is the reason why people use linux over FreeBSD even thought FreeBSD is better in almost every other way. That is why I’m trying to fix it. The more convenience FreeBSD becomes the more people will use it. I think if the coding of pw was edited to except the $ as a valid character would fix the problem. Does someone know how I would ask bin to do this? __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo!
