From adduser(8): Perhaps you are missing what can be done with this scheme that falls apart with most other schemes. With each user in their own group, they can safely run with a umask of 002 instead of the usual 022 and create files in their home directory without worrying about others being able to change them. For a shared area you create a separate UID/GID (like cvs or ncvs on freefall), you place each person that should be able to access this area into that new group. This model of UID/GID administration allows far greater flexibility than lumping users into groups and having to muck with the umask when working in a shared area. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Hello, Can you help me on this... I have a directory in the server this is what is looks like drwxrwx--- 12 root plusmate 512 April 13 14:46 plusmate shared ...this directory is shared in my network, and i dont recieve any complain in any user which can acces to that folder/directory *My Problem:* I have a new user, i already add the user in the server using command adduser and pw to modify it, by the way the name of user is ac06... when i had a command id -p ac06 this is the reply of the server.. uid ac06 group plusmate and which im sure its correct.. BUT, when that user acces(ac06) the folder (plusmate shared) throug the windows (windows XP) its always asking for username password, however it didn't ask for username password while the other users getting to that folder/directory. Where should be the problem?is there something i forgot configuring in the server side?
