[newbie] Setting up a new user account remotely
Hi, I was wondering how one goes about creating a new account from the console with Mandrake 7.2 (probably other versions as well). On Slackware, which is what I have my server on, it is easy, I just type adduser and answer the questions. With Mandrake it seems more complex. if I could figure that one out, I would convert it over to Mandrake as well. Jenn

I don't know if it has the interactive thing that Slackware does, but you can try reading up on 'man useradd'. Jesse -- !! Jesse C. Chang [EMAIL PROTECTED] [___] `|' "I have the simplest tastes. I am always /|\ satisfied with the best." -- Oscar Wilde
