In which =20 encoding is =E9 encoded? In UTF-8? Or in some ISO Latin/ISO-8859 =20 encoding? In UTF-8 =E9 is two bytes: C3 A9, in the 8-bit ISO encodings =20= it's one byte, E9. Could you need to use this encoding in /etc/passwd... What is your system's documentation telling about allowed characters =20 and encodings used for /etc/passwd? BTW, how did you insert your name? =20= Could be there is a bug in your system... -- Mit friedvollen Gr=FC=DFen Pete Eine Fehlentscheidung auf Anhieb spart immerhin Zeit. (Helmar Nahr)
