Operating Systems Linux SuSE SUSE 9.1 - Problems with Adding new users plz help Post 79219 by zazzybob on Tuesday 26th of July 2005 09:06:58 AM

If you use useradd with the -m option (and optionally -d) - see the manual page, it'll create the home directory, and set the appropriate permissions.

Whilst you're still finding your feet with Linux, you could use a graphical configuration tool such as YaST (for SUSE) for major system changes until you're comfortable with the command line.

Good luck! Smilie
