Easy problem??? Can't find adduser or useradd in fresh install of Fedora

jdruin · 01-31-2004, 01:46 PM

I just installed Fedora a minute ago and cannot find the command adduser or useradd nor can I confirm that shawdow passwords are installed. I went to /usr/bin already and i did a

find / -name adduser

with no luck. Any ideas?

Hi,

In Fedora, adduser is found under /usr/sbin

However, the default path may not include /usr/sbin, when you logged in as root using su , try using su -

Alternative you may want to add path temporary using this

PATH=$PATH:/usr/sbin; export PATH

Hope this helps.

You need to be root user to add users.
