Well, to be honest, with a server that's maintained by me and only me (ie: I'm the only one on sudoers, and the only noe who knows the root password), I rarely use things like visudo, and until now, haven't heard of vipw and vigr. Plus with the fact that our user and group databases are now in an LDAP database, I doubt vipw and vigr will work. But thanks for letting me know of how things should be. It's just much less critical when not working with a team of co-administrators. (I -WISH- I could have a team here, but alas ...) :) --> Jijo -- Federico Sevilla III :: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Network Administrator :: The Leather Collection, Inc.
