adduser help

[ssgatbliss]

I'm trying to complete a lab for school and I'm sure the instructor is missing some vital information. We were told to add a group using groupadd -g 333 -o qw333. No problems there. Now I am supposed to create an account using adduser. It should include my full name and the group called qw333 with the bash shell as default. To check it we are supposed to switch users and log into the account we created and make a vi file. Here's what I used.

root@ubuntu:/home/ubuntu# useradd -gqw333 -p1351 -s/bin/bash ssgatbliss

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Oh it's UBUNTU running off a CD

Dr Smallactually, it was tsk, tsk, tsk, thread closed. The beginners forum is not a place for help with homework. This is a more appropriate forum for this question.

At the friendly request of the OP, I un-locked the thread. I'm sorry if anyone was offended by this.

OP: The problem looks to be the lack of a space between the -g option and group name.

He needs spaces for all the options. Should read:


useradd -g qw333 -p 1351 -s /bin/bash ssgatbliss


BTW: Helps to read the manual, next time you get stuck try:


man [command]

For example useradd:


man useradd
