I need to know which files are altered when a new user login is
created from the install office administration window. Because I
am operating a bbs on my 7300, I have a shell script that adds
new users to the password file and other associated things, and
although it otherwise seems to work fine, the user login program
from install's administration window now core dumps. Is there an
administrative file somewhere that keeps up with the most recent
user ID number?
Any information on the workings of the program would be greatly
appreciated. Thanks in advance.

In version 2.0, there was a hidden file in /etc that held the UID of the last added user. Perhaps you should check /etc using: ls -la /etc -- Harold Bamford AT&T Bell Labs (cornet) 8-367-5744 Naperville, Ill (312) 979-5744

I know of no such file for version 3 of the system software. Gary J.
