Are you in root when you do it? Are you adding the user name after it? "useradd john"
The clip below is from: http://www.freeos.com/articles/4414/ . If this clip is any help, there is more info at the above address. "The general syntax for the useradd command is : useradd -d home_directory -e expire_date -g initial_group -p password login_name" An example of which is: "useradd -d /home/einstein -e 2002-08-30 -g root -p relativitysucks einstein" I managed to add three people without even trying. Now I have to figure out how to delete them.
