Sorry, I was semi-offline because of problems with my e-mail urgent job and a business trip to France. I agree with you that the latter way is preferred. So I'll make the necessary changes. What I dislike, however, is presence of e.g. "DSHELL=/bin/bash" in /etc/adduser.conf and other variables that bear common sense for adduser and useradd. -- WBR, xrgtn -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
