If we want NetBSD to survive (and I think you need at least as many users and developers as NetBSD has today for that) and if we're serious about providing a free BSD-Unix system with sources as an alternative to the commercial stuff we have to address these issues. Just a small comment. OpenBSD has the FreeBSD adduser command. And it runs on many of those platforms you list. -- This space not left unintentionally unblank. deraadt@theos.com www.OpenBSD.org -- We're fixing security problems so you can sleep at night.
