That is the correct syntax, but the password file has to be in the master.passwd style, not the passwd style (there are three extra fields - class, change and expire). The only fields that ls actually needs are name and uid, the rest can (should) be blank or garbage. The passwd(5) man page should have the format for the master.passwd file (10 colon separated fields). Also, you shouldn't need to be root (probably a good idea not to be, then you can't accidently wipe the actual password files). -- Mark O'Lear \ e-mail: Mark.Olear@Colorado.EDU University of Colorado \ phone: (303) 492-3798 Telecomm.
