setting up users
I'm as green as they come when it comes to Linux. I just installed Slackware and I'm trying to add a user.
I used 'groupadd backups' to create a new group. Then I added user backup using this command: 'useradd -gbackups -s/bin/bash -pxxxx -d/home/backup -m backup'. It gives me no complaint. Then, when I log out of root and try to login as backup, it fails. Can anyone help me out? Thanks, Matt. |

"useradd -g backups -s /bin/bash -d /home/backup -p xxxxxxx -m backup" is fine. You may need to "mkdir /home/backup" then "chown backup /home/backup" because useradd does not usually create the home directory on Slack.
