I have tried to add a group with the following command groupadd -u xx -r clamav and I get the following: groupadd cannot rewrite group file. I have also tried to add a new user with the following command useradd -u xx -r clamav and I get the following: useradd cannot rewrite the password file. Fedora 3 and all of the latest updates. 2.6.11.5wv4l #1 Mon Mar 28 13:34:24 CST 2005 i686 athlon i386 GNU/Linux Yes I was root at the time, yes I used an integer in place of xx on the command line. Any guidance would be appreciated. John --
