And here resides the problem. The command you are issuing is trying to create a home dir for the user. The command uses "-m -k /dev/null" so that it will create the home dir, but populate it with the contents of /dev/null. Since the user you are trying to create cannot read /dev/null, the command fails. Do this: chmod 666 /dev/null After that, everything should be okay. Again, my sincere apologies for my earlier remarks. -- Randy rmlinux: [bogomips 3923.96] [GNU ld version 2.16.1] [gcc (GCC) 4.0.1] [GNU C Library stable release version 2.3.5] [Linux 2.6.12.6 i686] 19:27:00 up 6 days, 4:49, 9 users, load average: 0.00, 0.04, 0.16 -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
