To those that wish to allow "." (dot) in usernames, please don't do this. Note commands like chown that use it (dot) as a seperator between login name and group. chown -R abc.staff . Having login names with dots in them confuses the heck out of this command. AlanC To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
