AFAIK, the GUI doesn't use the adduser script - which is really a script to automatize tedious sysadmin tasks: adding user to /etc/password and /etc/group, crypting password and copying it in /etc/shadow, creating folders copying /etc/skel, editing ~files if needed, changing rights, and so on... See Rob's answer, for command line one should setup /etc/aduser.conf regards Xavier [email protected] ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Ridiculously easy VDI.
