Top Forums UNIX for Dummies Questions & Answers Dont know what I'm doing wrong with useradd Post 77521 by d11wtq on Sunday 10th of July 2005 10:56:18 AM

Ah OK thanks never mind Smilie

I needed to (as root) run this command afterwards:

Code:
passwd d11wtq

I should have known that since I run passwd on a 30 day cycle anyway, I just hadn't thought about giving it a username paramater.

NAME
ctrlaltdel - set the function of the Ctrl-Alt-Del combination SYNOPSIS
ctrlaltdel hard|soft DESCRIPTION
Based on examination of the linux/kernel/sys.c code, it is clear that there are two supported functions that the Ctrl-Alt-Del sequence can perform: a hard reset, which immediately reboots the computer without calling sync(2) and without any other preparation; and a soft reset, which sends the SIGINT (interrupt) signal to the init process (this is always the process with PID 1). If this option is used, the init(8) program must support this feature. Since there are now several init(8) programs in the Linux community, please consult the documentation for the version that you are currently using. ctrlaltdel is usually used in the /etc/rc.local file.
