You need to be a bit careful about those files. There are likely to be different system accounts. System accounts (and groups) are those installed by your vendor, and your vendor hasn't finished adding new ones yet, and maybe will decide to retire some old ones too. The range of numbers used for system UIDs and GIDs differs between vendors. -- Cheers John Summerfield Microsoft's most solid OS: http://www.geocities.com/rcwoolley/ Note: mail delivered to me is deemed to be intended for me, for my disposition. ============================== If you don't like being told you're wrong, be right!
