I was looking at the copy of the Porter's Handbook on www.FreeBSD.org and it didn't show that one as reserved: ... proxy:*:62: authpf:*:63: uucp:*:66: xten:*:67: dialer:*:68: network:*:69: pgsql:*:70: simscan:*:74: www:*:80: qnofiles:*:81: ... http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/porters-handbook/dads-uid-and-gids.html Of course, it also didn't show some of the groups now in /etc/group. Am I looking at the wrong porter's handbook? Incidentally, this was one of the few group ID's I could find that wasn't allocated in one of {Darwin, Solaris, FreeBSD, SuSE}. Robert N M Watson
