You do understand that it will attempt to read a string from stdin to set the password to, ya? If it is hanging, most likely you have another pwd_mkdb running around somewhere, or you are running a script with does not properly pass it the password. Why are you using pw to set a user password anyway? passwd does a fine job of it, imho. ;) -danny -- ___ http://www.dannyland.org/~dannyman/ dannyman yori aiokomete /___\ University of Illinois: Our Honored Symbol Merits Honored Retirement (o\ | /o) // Beetles and Amigas - I'm a sucker for outdated, unsupported U"""""U \\/ hardware which has retained it's unique personality and grace.
