How about you go look at src/etc/group and master.passwd and look at the entries for the user/group smmsp Grab the UID and GID numbers and go add it: pw useradd -n smmsp -u 1234567890 where the number after -u is what you saw as the UID in the master.passwd file. pw addgroup -n smmsp -g 1234567890 same thing, get the GID # You may have to edit the password and shell fields (man pw) to jive. Alternatively, you could cut and paste the relevant lines from /src/etc into your existing files in /etc making sure you rebuild the password file afterwards with pwd_mkdb /etc/master.passwd So there's a coupla ideas off the top of my head. -ger To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
