(I'm assuming it's "wheel" because that's what it is in NetBSD and OpenBSD). There doesn't seem to be a usermod (or useradd, userdel for that matter), and /stand/sysinstall only allows you to add new users. Do I need to install an additional package, or should I just vi my /etc/group? And how do I delete a user without "userdel -r"? Another thing: I see the encrypted password is stored in /etc/passwd. How do I enable shadow passwords? (Does this have anything to do with my security level?) Thanks, Andreas.
