Thanks for the reply, much appreciated. I have tried using --gid now, with the exact same effect. Now, something totally different: As a test, we did this: addgroup --system bind; echo $?; while ! adduser --system --home /var/bind --no-create-home --ingroup bind bind; do sleep 1; done basically, it runs for an x amount of time before successfully adding the user. At each run of the above command, the loop runs random times. Here is some output: ~/temp# addgroup --system bind; echo $?; while ! adduser --system --home /var/bind --no-create-home --ingroup bind bind; do sleep 1; done Adding group `bind' (111)... Done. adduser: The group `bind' does not exist. adduser: The group `bind' does not exist. adduser: The group `bind' does not exist. adduser: The group `bind' does not exist. adduser: The group `bind' does not exist. Adding system user `bind'... Adding new user `bind' (108) with group `bind'. Not creating home directory. ~/temp# Thanks guys, Marlon -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
