Is there a need to add a new user? or just use root? I notice that there is neither an /etc/passwd file, nor a vipw command to edit the file. I tried adding myself (roger) as a user by editing master.passwd, then created a directory, but when I tried to chown the directory to roger, I got an error that said "no such user". I also noticed that there was no "passwd" command. can a password be changed? Thanks, Roger Roger Fischer roger@badger1.net http://www.badger1.net %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% When once you have tasted flight, you will always walk the earth with your eyes turned skyward; for there you have been and there you will always be. -Leonardo da Vinci 1452-1519 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-small" in the body of the message
