Re: adding users

You also use

useradd -u 515 -g 100 -c "The Name of the User" -d /home/directory UserAccountName

where -u is the user's unique id
            -g is the group to which he/she will belong

You just have to create the passwd for the user after this.

I do a "tail" on /etc/passwd so I can determine the next "-u" number to use.

I have also had this issue in the past adding local users to machines setup for LDAP. Try using the command:

system-config-users

You need a graphical environment to run this.

Otherwise you can just manually add the user to /etc/passwd, /etc/shadow, make them a home directory, copy default files from /etc/skel into their home directory and modifiy ownership of their home directory/files.



I've been doing that, but I'd like to know /why/ this happens and /how/
I can fix it.  Surely there's a mechanism for it.
