If you accept the default entries, it will ask you at the end to save them.

Ummm. Do you have a /etc/adduser file? Maybe this file is corrupt, try moving it and then run adduser again. If I remember correctly the first run thru of adduser stores some settings on how root likes to add users, such as name limitations/expressions. Someone might have added an user and changed the "internal" settings or something. Also try adding a user thru the sysinstall interface. -Alastair ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

I decided to beat my head agenst my desk to see if i could knock something lose, anyone wanna help with this? i have added users before ( back when i first got everything installed about 2 years ago) and have not really needed to since, but now im trying again.. ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
