I'm trying to configure open-xchange and the instructions (at http://wiki.open-xchange.com/wiki/index.php?title=Open_Xchange_Installation) say I should do the following : & addgroup --system open-xchange & adduser --system --home /opt/open-xchange --no-create-home --disabled-password --ingroup open-xchange open-xchange & chmod 750 /var/log/open-xchange & chown open-xchange: /var/log/open-xchange What I did is : # groupadd -r open-xchange #useradd -r -d /opt/open-xchange/ -M -g open-xchange -----> FAILED with usage message "Usage: useradd [options] LOGIN" What am I missing?
