    Hi

    New to FreeBSD

    Currently using Libranet trying to switch my main box
    to FreeBSD..

    MY current problem is adduser

    I think is is corrupted.

    When I type adduser

    I get the regular first three lines.

    Check /etc/shells
    Check /etc/master.pwd
    Check /etc/group

    Usernames must match regulare expression: [mkosmal]:

    That last line must come from an aborted prior attempt.
    It just gets worse after that.

    In /usr/sbin
    the adduser script is in part

    Copyright 1995-1996 Wolfram Schneider etc. yada. yada.. yada..

    I am using a disk that came with Teach Yourself FreeBSD in 24 hours..

    I tried editing the following files by had

    /etc/passwd.
    /etc/master.pwd
    /etc/group

    I couldn't find the password file.

    This didn't work either..

    TIA

    Marvin
