What exactly is the format for /etc/passwd entries? The preexisting users
in the NetBSD installation seem to have two more fields than the example
given by my reference books.
This confusion may be a part of the second question I had - if I have a
file owned by user1, and if, as root, I chown that file so that it's
owned by user2, it STILL is listed as being owned by user1. What's going
on there?
Finally, and I already asked this, but when I run the PPP connect script
from the ppp-setup kit, it dials, and connects, but I get three "Fatal
signal 11" messages and PPP remains down. Does anyone know what might be
going wrong? And, do /etc/hosts and /etc/myname need to be changed for a
PPP connection?
Thanks...
