Hi New to FreeBSD Currently using Libranet trying to switch my main box to FreeBSD.. MY current problem is adduser I think is is corrupted. When I type adduser I get the regular first three lines. Check /etc/shells Check /etc/master.pwd Check /etc/group Usernames must match regulare expression: [mkosmal]: That last line must come from an aborted prior attempt. It just gets worse after that. In /usr/sbin the adduser script is in part Copyright 1995-1996 Wolfram Schneider etc. yada. yada.. yada.. I am using a disk that came with Teach Yourself FreeBSD in 24 hours.. I tried editing the following files by had /etc/passwd. /etc/master.pwd /etc/group I couldn't find the password file. This didn't work either.. TIA Marvin -- Marvin J.
