Make sure that you are root and that /sbin is in your path or try:
/sbin/adduser username

nicolas9510 01-26-2005 03:24 PM
bash: /sbin/adduser : no such file or directory
i looked in /sbin there is no adduser or useradd

david_ross 01-26-2005 03:29 PM
Sorry, my mistake - I think it is:
/usr/sbin/adduser

nicolas9510 01-26-2005 03:42 PM
ok this works
but is there anyway i can get it so that i just have to type:
adduser
?

you can add

alias adduser='/usr/sbin/adduser'

to ~/.bash_profile

ok thanks
is there a command to update things that we changed?
so it takes count of what you changed?

The best thing would just be to add /usr/sbin to your PATH variable. If you su'd to root then try using "su -" instead to load additional paths

ok thanks
another question:
how do u set a limited space for a user via ssh?
like user john get 100Mb of space
bob get 200Mb etc... ?
thanks

You will need to set up quotas - see:
