Then I suspect you are doing it wrong. If you want a local user, you need to add --uid 500 or so to adduser. :) If you want adduser to create local users by default, ie with uids in the 500-1000 range, you should probably edit /etc/adduser.conf to change its behaviour. These are the relevant settings: # FIRST_[GU]ID to LAST_[GU]ID inclusive is the range of UIDs of dynamically # allocated user accounts/groups. FIRST_UID=1000 LAST_UID=29999 FIRST_GID=1000 LAST_GID=29999 Happy hacking, -- Petter Reinholdtsen -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
