adduser problem
Greetings, I volunteer in my church's computer lab (hence my email name) and advocate Linux where and whenever possible. We have a sarge system as a test system. A very knowledgeable Debian expert (call him Buddy) helped me set it up. I started getting used to it, especially apt, because I've been using RedHat since I started using Linux. About a year ago, my local LUG set up a small weekly newspaper with Linux. The workstations are dual boot W98/RedHat 7.3 (don't ask, long story), the server is Debian (named debbie). Buddy set it up. He is very, very good, but had to do some customization (maybe a lot). After doing updates, upgrades, and dist-upgrades on the lab test system with no apparent ill effects, I thought it was time to do the same to the newspapers server. In the process I broke 'adduser'. So far, the solution appears to involve LDAP. None of us seems to have much experience with that. Buddy has since moved and isn't responding to emails. The newspaper has been working on a series of articles about the switchover from Windoze to Linux. Right now they're not very happy with Debian. Is there anyone who offers paid, secure support for Debian? Donation to the Debian project is also acceptable. Remote access can be provided. I don't know if this is the correct thing to do, but I'm totally lost and don't know what else to do. I haven't included any specifics because I don't know what would be needed or if this list is the right place to post this request.

Re: adduser problem
You might check out LightSys (http://www.lightsys.org/), though I think they only deal with missions groups. Tim, a lightsys guy, also participates in the CS-FSLUG Mailing list. He may be willing to help out voluntarily - don't know. For your church, The Freely Project has a new helpdesk for GNU/Linux and other free and open source software. It's open only to churches. Not sure if anyone there is a Debian Guru, but they could use one. http://matheteuo.org has links to most of the Christian-related FOSS resources on the web - at least the primary ones.

And if you post any question to this list, I am sure that anyone of all the people in this list can help you. 1. what exactly you problem is?, you can not add a user? 2. which messages is sent to you by the program? 3. send the output and the command as you type it in your linux box.

Thank you all for the suggestions. I will chack them out ASAP, although
I'd be leery of trying the cpu command because I don't know how this
system's various services are interrelated. I know there is a way to
list all the installed pkgs on the system. I'll look that up and try it
as soon as I can get there. In the meantime, one of our LUG members
tried 'adduser' and came up with the following.
