So I have written a *small* C program to do it for me. (Since I add far too many suers to my system anyway, this was a good plan). Notes: (1) It uses system, so is inherently insecure. Thus you should probably protect the program fairly well as well if you are going to seriously use it. (2) It doesnt copy files into the users directory. (3) All home directories are placed in /home/<group>/<user> It is available from rachel.ibmpcug.co.uk::~ftp/src/usr.sbin/adduser Adrian
