Yes, you're using it. vipw works just fine - your problem is either memory hardware or some bizarre mismatch due to you corrupting the password files. You may want to dig up a fresh set (either off the CD or from some kind soul; you'll want a copy of master.passwd and pwd.db, run vipw to cread passwd. > 2) is there a way to automate the boot procedure (short of > rebuilding the kernel?) 2.0 or 2.0.5? 2.0.5 reads and saves the kernel changes for you. > 3) is there a way to boot from dos (seems pretty simple...) fbsdboot, iirc. > 4) is there an implementation of strace/trace for freebsd ktrace may do what you want; how about something more than a name? > 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 [[
