Hi,

I just installed the current version of Suse and tried to add a user but
the adduser command doesn't exist on my system.

Can anyone tell me how I can add this command or otherwise fix this problem?

Thank you

Noel Scott

You probably mean useradd. It's in /usr/sbin/

Thanks, yes, you're right, I did mean useradd. The reason I couldn't find or access it when I went to look for it was that I was probably not logged in as root.

Thanks again.
