That is horribly inefficient because it forks a separate grep process for every single file under /usr/ports. Also it will print a lot of false positive, because the ports tree contains several files and scripts that call adduser. > How about man pkg_info > > From memory: pkg_info -W /usr/sbin/adduser That won't work, because pkg_info only reports information about packages that you have installed. One way to find which ports provide a certain file is to use the "porgle" search engine: http://www.secnetix.de/tools/porgle/?w=p&q=adduser However, there is an adduser command in /usr/sbin which is part of the FreeBSD base system. If some script complains about that command being missing, you should invstigate whether you do have that command in /usr/sbin. It's unlikely that a port requires a different command with the same name without having a dependency on the port that provides that command. Best regards Oliver -- Oliver Fromme, secnetix GmbH & Co.
