Just editing those files doesn't help since the system uses binary files /etc/pwd.db and /etc/spwd.db wich have to be rebuild with /usr/sbin/pwd_mkdb after any change in the master password file /etc/master.passwd. All this is done automatically when editing the master password file with /usr/sbin/vipw. If you don't like vi, you may assign the name of your favourite editor to the environment variable EDITOR to make this editor used, e.g.: setenv EDITOR emacs Regards Konrad Heuer Personal Bookmarks: Gesellschaft f=FCr wissenschaftliche Datenverarbeitung mbH G=D6ttingen http://www.freebsd.org Am Fa=DFberg, D-37077 G=D6ttingen http://www.daemonnews.o= rg Deutschland (Germany) kheuer@gwdu60.gwdg.de To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
