From: jra@law7.DaytonOH.NCR.COM (John Ackermann x 2966) Subject: UserAdd won't make home directory? Date: Mon, 9 Aug 1993 14:43:01 GMT
I'm trying to use useradd (adduser? -- I'm at work and linux is at home;
anyway, it's the add user function for the shadow password kit) but it
won't create the home directory for the new user. The man page
indicates that it should, and doing "useradd -D" indicates that it knows
the proper base directory. The user appears to be properly added to the
passwd and shadow files.
This is from the SLS1.03 distribution; I had the same problem with 1.02.
Is there a permission problem, or am I missing something along the way?
Thanks...
