Ah, very good. I had missed that option when I had read the man pages previously. Bob msg21901/pgp0.pgp Description: PGP signature

The only problem/difference with --system is that the adduser command will not create a unique group for the uid. It will create the group as 'daemon' IIRC. I did not see a way to create a system user that also created a system group to go along with the system user. But not saying --system followed the UPG scheme by default. Which I followed since the OP has listed creating a unique group as well with the original commands. Bob msg21897/pgp0.pgp Description: PGP signature

You might investigate using 'adduser'. That will follow the /etc/adduser.conf policy and do the above in one command. YMMV. adduser --disabled-login --gecos 'MYSQL User' mysql Bob msg21560/pgp0.pgp Description: PGP signature
Creating a new user without a password
I am just curious. I am installing mysql 4.0 and following their instructions. They say run these commands. groupadd mysql useradd -g mysql mysql This creates a new user, but no where is the password set. Is this a security problem or will no one be able to ever log in as user mysql? Thanks, Curtis -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
