Add user from Command line
 

Hi, all.

Distribution is OzOs - basically a cut down Ubuntu with E17 as desktop.

When I go to run adduser or useradd the user is created, however the settings for X and e17 don't appear to be copied, all I get is a black box with a command line in it.

Any suggestions?

You need to modify the contents of the /etc/skel directory.

When you create a user with the useradd command (I'm assuming you are using the -m option to create the home folder) it copies the contents of the /etc/skel directory to the new users home directory.

Any files and folders that you want the new users to be created with should be copied to this folder.
