Should not have been included? Do you mean that there should
not be a /etc/passwd file, or that it shouldn't have overwritten the
one that was there?

Sorry...didn't mean to give the impression that I think you
are doing anything less then an excellent job...getting SLS up and
running has been a piece of cake...just some of the tweaking for an
individual site tends to be causing headaches :)
As for SCO/DELL...NAWT! Cost is too great, considering that
most of the stuff on either I would replace with the much improved
versions that can be found on the net. All I basically have left of
my old OS is the kernel...everything else has been basically replaced :)
One thing that would be nice to see in the future is some
sort of configuration script that would at least set you up
sitename/domainname wise :) Especially in the tcp/ip package...still
haven't gotten that thing configured correctly :( Or maybe even just a
list of files that have to be changed?
Thanks Peter...for all of your time.
