i think in redhat (unlike mandrake) when yu login as root, it doesn't
take the directories in root's default path (??). what yu can do is,
find out which command yu wish to yu use by
whereis useradd
it'll list the path where useradd is located (/usr/sbin, /sbin etc.),
then run the command by
/usr/sbin/useradd
or use ssh instead of telnet and directly login as root.
