Emm... sorry for my ignorance and stupidity...
But can anyone please clearify "PASSWD" under:
echo ${PASSWD} | pw useradd {options}
the following is what I tried,
echo ${PASSWD} | pw useradd newuser
-d /user/home/newuser -m -g usergroup
(the whole thing is supposed to be on 1 line)
and I got the following error:
PASSWD: Undefined variable
An example of how to use this command would
be greatly apprciated, for I am only a beginner
in FreeBSD.
Thank you in advance, and sorry for the trouble.
Frankie
