When you get out of vipw (:wq, just like in vi) it also updated the database properly. Of course, if there are scripts somewhere that have the hao name hardcoded in to them, those will have to be fixed by hand. jerry > Thanks > Hoa, Nguyen ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
