adduser question

[Marvin J. Kosmal]

Hi 

New to FreeBSD

Currently using Libranet trying to switch my main box
to FreeBSD..

MY current problem is adduser

I think is is corrupted.

When I type adduser

I get the regular first three lines.

Check /etc/shells
Check /etc/master.pwd
Check /etc/group

Usernames must match regulare expression: [mkosmal]:

That last line must come from an aborted prior attempt.
It just gets worse after that.

In /usr/sbin
the adduser script is in part

Copyright 1995-1996 Wolfram Schneider etc. yada. yada.. yada..


I am using a disk that came with Teach  Yourself FreeBSD in 24 hours..



I tried editing the following files by had

/etc/passwd.
/etc/master.pwd
/etc/group

I couldn't find the password file.  

This didn't work either..

TIA


Marvin
