It was a domain permissions problem. I got added to the administrators group, and the command works now, and I can log in. Next problem is getting cvs working. I've seen a problem that others have had, but I didn't see a solution to, so I'll start a fresh thread. thanks again...

Normally these files should not be world-wide writeable. Try 'mkpasswd -d' (without redirection) If this doesn't work either - happily ignore my comment :) If this does work then this sounds like a missing write-access to the database files /etc/passwd and /etc/group benjamin lindner On 15.03.2004 at 13:07 Calvin Smith wrote: >Oops, I didn't think the first message got sent, so I sent another with >some more information. > >I did try running the command as a domain user, but I got the "Access >Denied" error.
