running "adduser -s -uid_start 6464 -group vmail -batch vmail" outputs - Added user ``vmail'' the problem being the quotes if I don't use -batch flag and just use "adduser -s -uid_start 6464 -group vmail vmail" running "adduser t0 -s -uid_start 6969 -group vmail" it will still ask the questions even though /etc/adduser.conf is present and is read - it doesn't output that is being considered in the output. output Use option ``-silent'' if you don't want to see all warnings and questions. Reading /etc/shells Check /etc/master.passwd Check /etc/group Ok, let's go. Don't worry about mistakes. There will be a chance later to correct any input.

Ase this is not related to a hardware problem, version should be enough - hel0# uname -a OpenBSD hel0.my.domain 7.2 GENERIC#6 amd64 I just started using openbsd, I have exposure to other distros ( RHEL based ) I feel like this is the worst bug report I've ever created, you don't have a bug tracking platform, and I have to do it over email.
