Thanks for providing the correct usage of "pw useradd". At first sight, I thought your "pw useradd mysql -g mysql" is a typo, which misplaced the first "mysql" and "-g" option, so I used "pw useradd -g mysql mysql", but got an error saying "pw: user name or id required" Then I "man pw", and found the usage of (pw) user add is a little different from the standard ones: pw [-V etcdir] useradd [name|uid] [-C config] [-q] [-n name] [-u uid] [-c comment] [-d dir] [-e date] [-p date] [-g group] [-G grouplist] [-m] [-k dir] [-w method] [-s shell] [-o] [-L class] [-h fd | -H fd] [-N] [-P] [-Y] In FreeBSD, it should be "pw useradd username -g groupname", and not "pw useradd -g groupname username". Last but not least, thanks for everyone who helped me in this thread.
