Hi all,
i can add user using useradd user1.
but, when i ls /cd/home, no dir for my new user.
another thing is, i cannot set passwd to my new user, it ask me to key in current passwd. (which is i dont have)

Hi termvrl.
I would recommend NOT using 'useradd' and 'userdel', as they are low level utilities.
If I were you, I'd use the commands 'adduser' and deluser instead.
Let us know how it goes.
Regards.

Three things you need to know before you use useradd. I think this is how it's done. Emphasis on the think.
user a add
give the user a directoryCode:useradd me # me is you
give the user a passwordCode:useradd -d /home/me me
Code:passwd me
might try : deluser or rmuser ...
I'm assuming that you are trying to add the user through the use of the terminal? What about going through the Dash Home? I found a good tutorial here on how to add the account.
Hi All ! Good day!
first i remove current user and group.
i create a group using addgroup group1.
then, i use adduser --ingroup group1 user1.
set the password and info.
Thanks for your help!
Glad you got it solved!
