Hi, I am trying to add users via a batch on a 4-STABLE Using the perl made adduser: [...] Name: test Password: **** Fullname: test@test.com Uid: 1000 Gid: 1000 (test) Class: Groups: test HOME: /home/test Shell: /bin/sh OK? (y/n) [y]: Added user ``test'' And in the master.passwd I found : test::1000:1000::0:0:test@test.com:/home/test:/bin/sh while if I use pw: /usr/sbin/pw useradd -ntest -ctest@test.com -d/home/test -g1000 -s/bin/sh -u1000 pw: invalid character `@' at position 4 in gecos field Who is right of both the program ? :-) IMHO I find usefull to have the @ in the gecos field because it is an easy way to associate login <-> email in multidomain enviroment. But probably there is some drawback I am not aware of ... Any explanation ? Thanks. Best Regards, Gianmarco Giovannelli , "Unix expert since yesterday" http://utenti.gufi.org/~gmarco/
