Code Listing 9: Creating a user account



# useradd john
# passwd john

should be similar to this:

#useradd roger -m -G users -s /bin/bash
#passwd roger

....

basically the -m option was missing so the homedir never got created.


Please fix before the handbook-snapshot for 2004.3 is made.


Thanks, 
Roger

Fixed in CVS. The snapshot for x86 contained the update already, others missed it.
