From: kasturi@cco.caltech.edu (Tejaswi Kasturi) Subject: Adding users with Slackware Date: 22 Sep 1993 05:07:09 GMT
HELP! I can't add users under slackware. I have it installed and connected
to Internet okay, but I can only login as root, and I can't add users.
Useradd seems to run okay, but when I try to change the passwd from the
root account for the new user, or try to modify or delete it, it says
'user does not exist' or something to that effect. I'm sure I'm making
some stupid mistake, but I can't find any info about it in the Install-howto
or the FAQ's. I tried to install the user manually, as per the FAQ but
it still didn't work. When I try to useradd the user again, without
deleting its entry in passwd and shadow, it gives me that the identifier
exists, but nothing else can find the user.
Help extremely appreciated...
