I always edited the group, passwd and shadow files per hand to add/remove/alter groups/users and I never had any problem. Is there any drawback I missed in using this procedure? Or is this simply a matter of convenience? thanks, Johannes -- "More than machinery we need humanity" -- Charlie Chaplin, The Great Dictator -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
