I installed Lenny using a netinstall disc. Last night as root, I used a
'startx' to start a Gnome desktop. While in the session, I decided to use
the administrative tool to add a few users. All seemed to be normal, but

Does anyone know of a utility where
an admin can add linux users via a web browser?
Perhaps also... that the user could change their password via the web or

Try using the adduser command. Or the useradd command.

Thanks. I didn't even know there was a command adduser! Why is it better

Hm. usually the home directory is set up and
created in the adduser sequence.
You usually get something like:
home directory: (/home/$logname)
what you can do by hand is check your
"/etc/passwd" file and make sure the home directory

About the 'no home' ting: it means that the system couldn't cd to the user's

that /home isn't mounted, or wasn't mounted when you added the user, but

We are in the process of moving users from a BSDi box to a Linux box.
BSDi has an adduser script which accepts encrypted passwords. The
Debian adduser script does not. From reading through the code for each,
it seems that BSDi's adduser script manipulates the password file
directly. ( I'm not a

find some default options for adding users in the file '/etc/adduser.conf'.
