alway create directory in /var/spool/mail also.
i'm checking /etc/skell, /etc/default/useradd, /etc/login.defs but none are
seem related to this 'problem'.

Is there a way by default or any way for that
matter to change the users home dir permissions during adduser or useradd? It
seems to default to 700 i want it to be 755.
Im aware i can do it post adduser/useradd, just
curious if its possible to do it by default, simular to changing the /etc

Change to that user from root:
su - userfoo
and it won't care if there's no password.

I believe after creating an new account nobody can log in with this
account until a password has been set

I dunno why I hadn't thought of it before (brainfart), but I created an
account, did not set the password, and tried telneting in using it. It
wouldn't let me in. I checked /etc/shadow and found !! in the area where
the password would normally be decrypted. I guess it's already doing what

That's not correct. The account will be created with '!!' in the password
field, and you will not be able to log in to it.

If you don't set a password, I do believe that the account will simply
have no password, and anyone will be able to log into it.
If you want the account to have no password, you'll need to go into
/etc/passwd or /etc/shadow (depending on how you installed your system)
and put something like "x
Is it possible to log in to a new account between the time you add the user
and manually set their password?
For example, I want to verify that I can create a www account, never set a
password on the account, and rest assured knowing nobody can login to the
account.
Thanks =)

The cgi that I wrote is attached. To my knowledge it is fully functional. It
was developed on a rh6.1 box using perl 5.005_03. You might have to modify the

Hello,
I was wondering if there was some way to control adduser via CGI scripts.
I'm looking to send data to it only, not delete.
If anyone has seen scripts like this or can offer any help I would greatly
appreciate it.
I am looking for C/C++ or Perl scripts or libraries.

I tried using "passwd houze" from root and it seemed to work ok since it

I think as root you can do "passwd houze" and change that users password.
Or log on as that user and just run passwd. (I don't know if you can log
on as that use
I tried to add some user accounts to my redhat machine today with little
success. I read somewhere that the thing to do was set up a file called
/etc/adduser.conf that would provide all the necessary defaults. Then,
I just typed in
adduser houze
with "houze" being the desired
Don't suppose anyone's read the adduser help? :)

edit the password file with vipw
or if you're using the shell script adduser (in 4.2) then just find the
appropriate line in the script and fix it (I recently did this for our
webserver, and it worked just fine :) )

Hello all,
Is there anyway to make a user log into
a specific directrory with the ./adduser command.
I don't want to have to create a group for each user but
all my new clients going into the web server have a hard
time tunneling up to /home/httpd/domainname
from their /home/username

Hi,
I have bought a book on Linux and it gives an example of the adduser
script, which when I run it in the 5.0 dist gives me a command outline. I
have read that RH have changed the way the adduser command works to
accomodate the new group settings etc.
What do people now use in the 5.0
