I have never heard this before in years or using Linux. I am not saying you're wrong but I would just like to know why I should not use 'useradd' rather than 'adduser'. I assumed that it was just personal preference for which you preferred to use but I could be wrong according to your above statement. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
