Look at '/etc/postinstall/passwd-grp.sh.done'. This is the postinstall script that's run to generate '/etc/passwd' and '/etc/group' initially during install. Then take a look at 'man mkpasswd' and 'man mkgroup' to get a better understanding of the switches you see used there. If there is more than 1 domain but you only care about one, you can specify that domain name with '-d' and speed things up a bit. But if you need all users from all domains, you're stuck with your slow domain. -- Larry Hall http://www.rfk.com RFK Partners, Inc.
