It's not immediately apparent that adduser and useradd are in fact two different commands. useradd is essentially an alias of "user add", if I remember correctly. Also, they seem to use different configuration files. Also, just to add to the confusion, vipw and vigr might be alternatives for the various "user <op>" commands. -- Joel Rees <rees@xxxxxxxxxxx> digitcom, inc. 株式会社デジコム Kobe, Japan +81-78-672-8800 ** <http://www.ddcom.co.jp> **
