I attempted to write a catch-all command line that would add/enable/set password for a user, to make sure they were in good shape upon a reactivation of their account. However, in my opinion, the man pages are incorrect when regarding the -e switch. -a and -e will not work together, so the behavior of -e is not really benign if the user does not need enabling. I guess this is somewhat of a gray area, as if the user does not exist, a -e flag should probably fail... but... I guess what I'm asking is was the intended behavior that -a -e would not work together (ie. if the account does not exist, the -a will not be used either), or is -a -e supposed to be a way to add/enable a user? ---- _ _ _ _ ___ _ _ _ |Y#| | | |\/| | \ |\ | | | Ryan Novosielski - Jr. UNIX Systems Admin |$&| |__| | | |__/ | \| _| | novosirj@umdnj.edu - 973/972.0922 (2-0922) \__/ Univ. of Med. and Dent. | IST/ACS - NJMS Medical Science Bldg - C630
