    Re: Admin - User & Groups Not working

    Code:
    jeroen@jeroen-mint ~ $ sudo adduser test
    [sudo] password for jeroen: 
    Adding user `test' ...
    Adding new group `test' (1002) ...
    Adding new user `test' (1002) with group `test' ...
    Creating home directory `/home/test' ...
    Copying files from `/etc/skel' ...
    Enter new UNIX password: 
    Retype new UNIX password: 
    passwd: password updated successfully
    Changing the user information for test
    Enter the new value, or press ENTER for the default
    	Full Name []: test
    	Room Number []: 
    	Work Phone []: 
    	Home Phone []: 
    	Other []: 
    Is the information correct? [Y/n]
    At the point of new UNIX password you give the password for the new user...You have to do it twice. At the first password prompt you give your own password. You need to be in the /etc/sudoers list for that. If you don't have that you do it from root. Login as root:
    Code:
    su
    hit enter and give the root password
    then
    Code:
    adduser 'newuser'
    and follow what's asked.
