This might sound a bit far fetched, but I can't shake the feeling it might be right. Could it be possible you have 2 admin's in your passwd? vipw doesn't complain when you try something like that, so.... Would you mind doing a 'ls -ln' (uid/gid numeric) and the an 'echo $UID' as admin. -- greetz Joost [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
