Hello ! For the first time after installing FreeBSD 5.2.1, I am trying to add a new user, but without success so far. I have tried many times (as root), with /usr/sbin/adduser and also with /stand/sysinstall > Configure > User Management > User (Add a new user to the system), but the operation seems fo fail at the end, when I give the final YES. I get the following error message:
pw: user 'user' disappeared during update I have checked on the Web giving the error message as input to google, but got only one highly pertinent message. In the end, the guy says he re-installed FreeBSD, wihich I cannot do right now. I checked with the command vipw, and emacs shows the lines corresponding the users I attempted to create along with the other users I created at install time. There is no subdir under /home for my attempts at creating those users, nor can I log into the system with those users. Please, could someone help me with this message?
