Add user problems
 

I am trying to add a user to my other machine. Everytime I enter userdrake (I use Mandrake) in the console, there's an error that says " **WARNING **: userdrake: the file group is busy (/etc/gtmp present) "

What do I need to do in order to add a user to the system? Thanks!

is there another user/console using userdrake or that has the /etc/groups file open r/w?

does useradd not work on Mandy?

useradd -u uid -g groupname -d homedir -s shell -c comment -p password -e expire

and other options. if you type useradd and hit enter, you should see the list of options, atleast on my RH7.3 box it does, i have never use Mandrake

thanks guys, so far it worked.
