Hello, I just formatted my 4.4 and installed 4.6. There is a minor problem I am having with adduser where I get caugt into an endless loop where I can only ^C to escape. I scripted the scenario where I create a user called 'joe'. Note the default username is 'legg' from where I tried to install my own account as the first account. I can still add users via /stand/sysinstall, which I eventuall had to do to create the 'legg' account, but I have always preferred the speed and efficiency of adduser. Any comments? Thanks in advance... Script started on Tue Aug 27 14:07:38 2002 pc047113# adduser Use option ``-silent'' if you don't want to see all warnings and questions.
