'useradd' not working.
 
Hello

I'm not sure why, but my useradd and groupadd command is not working. I can do the man useradd command and get directions but it still does not work. I am on Fedora Core 1 with KDE3.2.

An example of a command I give is
useradd -g nofiles -d /var/qmail/alias -s /sbin/nologin -p'*' alias
and I get
Command not found, back.

Any ideas?
