OK I am completely new to linux and i'm not the most knowledgable with unix commands but I'm good with computers and programming and such. Well anyway I found a guide I guess you could call it on linux.org in the lessons for beginners section (I can't make a Link until after 3 posts)
I know they arent using slackware and its probably old but on my Slackware 10.2 i did "useradd" added a user, set a password, but do i have to manually set up a directory in "/home/"? Whenever I log onto the new account it says that the directory does not exist so it sets up home as the user directory or at least thats what it seems to mean. Any help on how to properly set up a user account would be much appreciated. And also does anyone have really good guides/lessons/tutorials website that I can visit to actually learn how to do most of the stuff on slackware. Thanks for any help.

It's probably easier to use adduser, which will also create the home directory for you. You might want to see http://slackbook.org/, as that's quite a good guide to Slackware.

Also, please use more descriptive thread titles in future.

Thanks, I will do that.

adduser is a script prepared to make users creations easy. But it always defaults you to group "users" and if you don't want that to be, create first your own group using "groupadd".

# groupadd yourusername
# adduser

Then provide your own group when prompted.

Don't always forget to read the man pages. They are ready command references.

# man useradd
# man groupadd
# man ls

etc.....

It should setup your user to use /home/Username. I am pretty sure that you must first login for the directory to be created. However I agree with what they said here. I use adduser due to it's simplicity.

Add a new user and password with directory....
Just add/change any groups that you desire.
