Hello all, kind of new to Linux and SuSe but firmly marching into it, so far I love it but...
I have noticed few issues with adding user via terminal on SuSe 10.2 (KDE Desktop Environment).
For instance, when logged in as 'root' using command 'useradd -d JSmith' will not work, but when using 'useradd JSmith' - will work. Now for the sake of inode god's where did this command place the new user and what is the default setting for it? I can't locate the users added this way in /home folder but if using YaST I can see them as users.
Where can I find documentation on this since it is very different from Red Hat, and where can I possibly get some sort of tutorial for adding users to SuSe managing permissions and groups and all the works that go with User Management. Any help is welcome at this point.

Hi,
Defaults settings for useradd: /etc/default/useradd. Try man useradd for help on using the command. Try useradd -m -d /home/JSmith JSmith, the -d is to specify a directory the -m creates the directory. The username in SUSE should follow the options to useradd command.
Regards,
