boy this smells an awful lot like a good newbiedoc intro, doesn't it? hmm? right? (nice job so far -- these specific user/group concepts are something i've wondered about, myself, for quite some time!) -- DEBIAN NEWBIE TIP #45 from Will Trillich <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> : Troubled by DOS-FORMAT TEXT FILES? There are many ways to get rid of the extra ^M characters.
