As far as I know noone from LSB try consult this with me or Marek (previouse shadow maintainer). > And, I'm afraid that at least Solaris 8 and 9 have no -r option in its > useradd command. > > I have no *BSD handy for checking, though... > > Anyway, I don't really follow your reasoning, Tomasz.

This is your words .. not mine :) Mine is "this is RH specific sh*t" :> I don't see reasons for commit RH -r option in useradd. Injecting in LSB useradd -r option this was post factum move. IMO use in all shadow tools -r option is *more valuable* than keep close to LSB in this point. Someone from RH tries push RH specyfic standard as de facto standard .. nothing more. Summarize: -r useradd option duplicates some long time avaialible shadow functionalities (groupadd/useradd -O option was avalaible IIRC allways in shadow but was not documented). kloczek -- ----------------------------------------------------------- *Ludzie nie mają problemów, tylko sobie sami je stwarzają* ----------------------------------------------------------- Tomasz Kłoczko, sys adm @zie.pg.gda.pl|*e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
