Hello everyone, This is is a little off topic. I was configuring MySQL on IRIX, when I realize that the system does not have the commands to add users. GROUPADD and USERADD So, I was wondering if someone could help me with the following: The installation guides ask me to run shell> groupadd mysql shell> useradd -g mysql mysql 1) Now, if this command is to be called from '/usr/local/mysql' then, what is the '/etc/passwd' entry? I have (in the passwd file) mysql: * : 6 : 6 : MySQL Group: /dev/null : /dev/null # To create the MySQL group...equivalent to 'shell> groupadd mysql' mysql: * : 1061 : 6 : MySQL Default User: /dev/null : /dev/null # To add the regular(MySQL) user account. Is this correct? 2) Also, Where can I find the 'groupadd' and 'useradd' command? I would like to add it to the system, for future uses. I've check the sgi support pages (support.sgi.com) but didn't find much help. Is this considered a PATCH, or what? Please help. -John __________John Monfort_________________ _+-----------------------------------+_ P E P I E D E S I G N S www.pepiedesigns.com "The world is waiting, are you ready?" -+___________________________________+-
