Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-isp@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.org I've recently upgraded our dialup account management server from 2.2.6 to 4.0 (yeah, quite a jump, and I'm VERY happy with 4.0). Today I've noticed a problem. I cannot change group id's with the `pw usermod` command anymore. In fact, pw is failing on all my other 4.0 boxen too. real life example: perch:/root grep mharsh /etc/passwd mharsh:*:4521:100:Mike Harshbarger:/home/mharsh:/bin/bash perch:/root pw usermod mharsh -g 198 [long pause, like it's actually doing something] perch:/root grep mharsh /etc/passwd mharsh:*:4521:100:Mike Harshbarger:/home/mharsh:/bin/bash And I'm still in group 100 instead of 198. Any help would be appreciated... vipw is quickly becoming a pain in the arse. :) As a side note, the -g option used with `pw useradd` works okay.
