edquota and useradd

dreyes81 · 10-21-2005, 01:32 AM

I tried using both edquota and useradd and I got this response

[root@localhost dreyes]# edquota
bash: edquota: command not found

[root@localhost dreyes]# useradd amanda
bash: useradd: command not found

[root@localhost dreyes]# edquota -u amanda
bash: edquota: command not found

Can someone help me out?

Probably the command aren't in your PATH, Type "echo $PATH" and "locate useradd" to see your PATH and the location of the useradd command, respectively. Note that if you're getting to a root prompt via su you won't get root's PATH, which includes administrative command directories, unless you do "su -" (note the trailing dash). Do a search on the PATH environment variable -- there are many threads on this.
