This isn't very specific, I'm afraid. What do you mean by "group rights"? Entries in /etc/group? They should have very little (if anything) to do with providing SLIP/PPP access. >I have the system answering the phone and allwoing logins and shells.

I am working towards setting up a web server using FreeBSD 2.0.5 Check out the FAQ and the handbook documents living on http://www.freebsd.org. Most of what you're looking for is there.. Also, I recommend a good UNIX book! Evi Nemeth's classic book on system administration is a strong candidate. -- Jordan
