webmin is very nice. I reccomend using it with SSL though. The extra security
is always nice.

Try using the adduser command. Or the useradd command.
Hint: guessing command names can often be useful. Not all unix commands
have names as cryptic a

Hm. usually the home directory is set up and
created in the adduser sequence.

home directory: (/home/$logname)

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

I would try using the command 'adduser', instead of 'useradd'. You can
find some default options for adding users in the file '/etc/adduser.conf'.
(like default shell, group, homedir etc)
