First, let me thank everyone who responded to my previous posts. Now, I have a new problem. My FreeBSD box (2.1.5-RELEASE) has about 150 accounts set up. Recently, adduser has started replying an error message: chown: guest: illegal group name I have searched through the /etc/group file and everything looks ok to me. Another symptom, in the /home directory, on an ls -l, the output looks like this .... drwxr-xr-x 2 ruddent 31 512 Jun 26 14:54 ruddent/ drwxr-xr-x 2 sanders 31 512 Jul 16 15:50 sanders/ drwxr-xr-x 2 sharon 31 512 Jul 12 15:54 sharon/ drwxr-xr-x 2 shayroo 31 512 May 23 15:44 shayroo/ drwxr-xr-x 2 sjrtx 31 512 May 29 14:38 sjrtx/ .... I think it used to look like this: .... drwxr-xr-x 2 ruddent guest 512 Jun 26 14:54 ruddent/ drwxr-xr-x 2 sanders guest 512 Jul 16 15:50 sanders/ drwxr-xr-x 2 sharon guest 512 Jul 12 15:54 sharon/ drwxr-xr-x 2 shayroo guest 512 May 23 15:44 shayroo/ drwxr-xr-x 2 sjrtx guest 512 May 29 14:38 sjrtx/ .... so, instead of showing guest group ownership, ls -l shows 31. Any ideas? Thanks, Allen Hyer West Texas Rural Telephone
