Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG I installed 3.2 off of Walnut Creek cds on sunday. Went resonably well. However, when I followed gregs book and went to add a new user with 'adduser' I got confused (p. 164). When it asks for the login group the book puts in 'home'. when I put in 'home' I get: Group does not exist. Obviously I should create the group now, but what kind of permisions would the group 'home' have? Is this the generic user group that all users are member of? Thanx, -michael the net inept.
