How, exactly, are you doing this? I have lots of constructs like: cat <<EOF > /etc/auto.master /misc /etc/auto.misc --timeout 5 /home /etc/auto_home --timeout 60 /nas /etc/auto_home --timeout 60 /chome /etc/auto_home_cluster --timeout 60 /usr/local /etc/auto_usr_local --timeout 300 EOF in my %post section and have no problems. w> Everything I attempt in the %post section is dumped into the file w> /etc/passwd? That sounds like you did cat <<EOF > /etc/passwd and never included an EOF, so everything until the end of the file ends up in /etc/passwd. - J<
