Re: [ts-7000] creating a user

[Frank <>]

I didn't get any explicit 'permission' complaints either.  You might just want to doublecheck the permissions on the root directory.

    ls -al /

If you don't see the 'x' on the root folder, then permissions are the culprit.

Frank,

I think my problem is different.
I am just using the pre-installed OS on the Flash memory.
And I didn't got any complaint about permission.

Just a guess, but are you using a fairly recent image?  Your problem might be permissions on the root directory. 

See my message

Hi everyone,

I just used "adduser newbie" to create a new user account in the TS-Linux OS.
I got the following response:
adduser: /home/newbie: No such file or directory                              
adduser: /home/newbie: No such file or directory                              
adduser: /home/newbie: No such file or directory                              
Changing password for newbie                                                  
Enter the new password (minimum of 5, maximum of 8 characters)                
Please use a combination of upper and lower case letters and numbers.         
Enter new password:     

But I checked the new user with "id newbie", then I got
uid=509(newbie) gid=509(newbie)

I don't know why it said No such file or directory but still created the user account.
I think what I should get when I was creating the user account is something like:
Adding user newbie...
Adding new group newbie...
...

Anyone can tell me what's the problem?

Thanks,
Yuping
