There's a manpage "adduser" I'd suggest you start there. Also there's an adduser script on one of the archives. I can't remember where though. Just starting up vipw won't get you far, you need to know what all the fields are and there are other things that you need to do such as create a home directory and mail folder. If you can't find the script then send me some mail and I'll find my copy for you. -- Paul Richards, University of Wales, College Cardiff Internet: paul@isl.cf.ac.uk spedpr@thor.cf.ac.uk
