RE: adduser -M

Is that the answer I am looking for in my message Samba and Server
Access?  I need to create users that can't log into the computer at the
keyboard but share a folder with a group of users that share files.

Thank you,

Buck

They will get dropped in / if possible.  I use -M with -s /bin/nologin 
or -s /bin/false to create accounts that cannot be logged onto.
