Hahaha... turns out you *were* specific. ;-) Geez. If the new user did get added, then the failure must be of either adding a group for the new user (in /etc/group), or a shadow password (in /etc/shadow). Try grepping for 'groupadd' and 'passwd' in /var/log/auth.log and see what shows up. -- Chris -- Chris Knadle [EMAIL PROTECTED]
