I'm already upset here By the way, have you re-run pwd2pdb and pcfgen after modifying user.coda and group.coda. And don't confuse user.coda from passwd.coda, there were some name conflicts and the manual maybe a bit confusing ... as I said in one of my previous post (note). The following are my log of my Coda server installation: [root_at_xylophone db]# vi user.coda [clement_at_xylophone db]$ cat user.coda admin::500::Administrator:: clement::6822::LEE, Yui-wah (Clement):: [root_at_xylophone db]# vi group.coda [clement_at_xylophone db]$ cat group.coda System:Administrators -204 admin [root_at_xylophone db]# pwd2pdb -u user.coda -g group.coda > vice.pdb 2 user entries found [root_at_xylophone db]# pcfgen vice.pdb (I was a bit surprise that I don't need to run initpw, as suggested by the manual. I believe that it was because initpw has already been done by the vice-setup scripts.)
