Sure it does. man putgrent, although you are right, it is file based. adduser does not know about directory services, it calls the system nss routines to determine user and group information, and then it uses the passwd and related commands to manipulate users and groups. If those don't do the right thing with your directory services, then adduser can't help you. Cheers, -- ----------------------------------------------------------------- | ,''`.
