User creation help

[craighton]

I have a VPS that runs Ubuntu server,I have a root account that was setup for me and it has all the basic commands "apt-get" "wget" etc.

I am trying to create a user and I can create a user but when that user signs in and tries to do "apt-get" or "wget" it gives a bash error. Is there something that I can do to get it to work?

Hi,

it would be usefule to know what error you get. How created you the user account?
Is the user legitimated to use these commands? What happens if you use
sudo apt-get
