If you're on a domain, you wanted a domain user. Then you could ask mkpasswd and mkgroup to add the domain user, which would have the domain user SID. Alternatively, I think you can get away with copying the entries in '/etc/passwd' and '/etc/group' to "sunflower". You'll have to be aware of this if you update these files in the future with 'mkpasswd'/'mkgroup'. I haven't tried doing this so it's possible that this won't work, in which case you're back to the domain option. -- Larry Hall http://www.rfk.com RFK Partners, Inc.
