[newbie] Setting up a new user account remotely

2001-04-02 Thread Jennifer Davis 

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.

I don't know if it has the interactive thing that Slackware does, but you
can try reading up on 'man useradd'.

  A Linux virgin here. I have LM7.2 on a separate drive.
  W98SE on the other drive with Grub as the boot selector.
  Why does LM not show up in DOS? Is it possible to make it
  do so? TIA(thanx in advance).

 Leeif you mean why you can't you see/access the Linux 
 filesystem when running in the DOS mode of Windows then the 
 answer is DOS/WINDOWS does not have the ability to read any 
 filesystems other than its own.
