And as a side note, since others have already answered your question. ALL UNIX systems use /etc/passwd and /etc/group. Most Linux's use /etc/shadow, or something along those lines. It may be called something else, but it basically does the same thing.
If you want to edit something that's in /etc/passwd use the command vipw. Rumor has it, it will actually read your $EDITOR, and then edit the /etc/passwd, and /etc/shadow. But I don't believe that. I always use Vi so it works for me. Same thing for /etc/group. Use vigr, but that's only Linux boxes. I think it may even be an altered version of vipw. But that's just some extra information. Hopefully it's helpful. tdh -- -------------------------------------------------------------------- T.
