It seems the "regular expressions" feature is balling me up and I am unsure how this fits into the scheme. Man adduser and pw haven't helped me much. -- Best regards, KevinG mailto:whackstr@pacbell.net To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
