when you run the useradd, are you doing so as root or via another method?
then check these things as root
cd /
ls -axl
check to see if all directories, permissions and ownerships look right for
everything from the root dir
then check this file with vi or pico or more or whatever... :-)
/etc/default/useradd
all look ok there?
i always look in /tmp to see if there is any garbage lurking around
causing probs even if it isnt necessarily related to exactly what i am
looking for at that moment.
a few other things escape me at the moment as i am hungry. back inna few
