Title: adduser problems
Post by: delstel on October 09, 2003, 04:12:13 am

I\'m tring to add a new user to the 5600.

Using: adduser -p username

logged in as root

Get message: adduser [OPTIONS] <username>

What am I doing wrong??

I can\'t get samba going if I can\'t add a user. Is there another way?

if you type that in exactly as you showed, you are not completing the syntax.  If you are going to use -p it should be \'adduser -p <password> <username>\'.  If all you are trying to do is add a user, you should be able to do a simple \'adduser <username>\'.  You can then change the password, add the username to a group, etc...
