Thanks Mike. That makes a lot more sense to me. It would also make more sense to me if the adduser utility used useradd/userdel, instead of trying to roll it's own. A single interface (might as well call it an API) is all we need to build any passwd maint tool, be it command line or GUI based. Now I get to figure out why I have danenet:~> dpkg -l passwd Desired=Unknown/Install/Remove/Purge | Status=Not/Installed/Config-files/Unpacked/Failed-config/Half-installed |/ Err?=(none)/Hold/Reinst-required/X=both-problems (Status,Err: uppercase=bad) ||/ Name Version Description +++-===============-==============-========================================= === ii passwd 1.0-5 Change password data. and not the passwd pkg you have.
