I've tried to create new users with adduser. I've created a home dir within the usr dir (I didn't create a /home partition before and my root partition is definetely not for normal users). At first I was getting messages stating that the user had no home dir and reverted to /. It also said something about _secure_path (can't remember the full message). So I changed perms on /usr and /usr/home so they belonged to group home and were read/write by the group. I also checked all the files and the /usr/home/<user> dir. All belonged to <user> and were at least read/write by him. The message I get (still reverting to /) is: login: _secure_path: cannot stat /usr/home/<user>/.login.conf: permission denied. I really don't know what the problem is, and there's only one place where creating users is mentionned in the Complete FreeBSD book, so I guess it was understood that creating new users was pretty straight forward. Any clues? Manu To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
