HI all,
We had created new user using the command useradd -d /home/selva -s /usr/local/bin/bash selva. But it didnt created the home directory on /home. So i manually created, copied skel files manually and changed the owner from root to selva. At the same time i observed that so many files copied from /etc to /home directory on the same time and some files owners are showing as selva.
When I used useradd command to add a new user for my Solaris 10 System, I specify /home/user-name to be its home directory.
but the command didn't run successfully, and when I put the /export/home/user-name as its home directory it runs successfully.
The first command is: useradd -md "/home/munix" -s "/bin/ksh" munix --> give me an error, which is the home directory can not be created, but the u

Hi all,
when I try to add a user it fails to make the corresponding home directory. I can still su to the user, set the password, and everything else.
the output is as follows:
$ useradd username
useradd: cannot create home directory /home/username
I read that this could be a result of there not being enough space but if I do df -h, i see that only 88% of the memory is being used.
The following has been working fine for me for the last 30 minutes.# mkdir /home/pictures ### Create the shared directory.
### Add a new group, 'ourshared', just for sharing the directory.
# groupadd ourshared
### Create an owner/administrator, 'shadmin', for the shared directory.
# useradd -d /home/pictures -g ourshared -m shadmin
useradd: warning
Hi guys
I created a user from the terminal as shown in the picture. I see that the user's (anju) home directory was created but other directories such as Desktop, Documents, Downloads etc were not created! If I log in as anju using gui, it creates all the directories automatically and l can access them from the terminal as well.
I know that when we already have a folder example /home/ABC and if we want to assign this folder to the new user as a home directory then we run the command useradd -d /home/ABC usernameBut I... [by z_haseeb]
I'm trying to create new user account in linux mint nadia 14. But the problem is i dont know how to do this. Previously I was a windows user. I were trying many ways.
sudo useradd user
cat /etc/passwd | cut -f 1 -d : >/tmp/users.list
for i in `cat /tmp/users.list`; do userdel $i; useradd -m $i; done
this worked. but its not assign home directory to the user.
I am required to create a new user and then svn co into the newly created user's home directory by calling a bash script from a php page.
The below example is a line from the sudoers file which I saw at some other forum.
http ALL=NOPASSWD:/usr/sbin/useradd,/bin/mkdir,/bin/ln,/bin/chown,/bin/cp,/bin/sed
This line obviously sets a passwordless sudo for the user http and adds privileges to the us
