Hi Bryce, I think your problem lies in the final line above. It sure sounds like you deleted a file or two too many when you were in OS9. The file /etc/master.passwd doesn't just disappear, but if you deleted a folder or two you thought wasn't needed, you only have one to blame ;-) But it is of course just a guess :-) Cheers, Kim -- The iMac List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
