Statica or others

[Byte 2.0]

does mandrake not support the basic commands, I am trying to use the PDF Statica linked and some of the basic commands I am trying don't work

adduser

also tried useradd
userconf

all from page 2 of the PDF

I keep getting a bash:XXX comand not found.

I remember back when I was working for an ISP, I had root access but all i ever did was add users and delete users. Just to help out, I did nothing else with the Linux Red Hat 5.0


EDIT ok, i just loged in as root and Now the command line commands work here. ok, i should be able to do a bit more now. thanks again.

Hi byte,

When you install/update software and or install drivers etc., it's a good idea to be logged on as root. Some installations might require that you're logged on as root or at least have superuser privileges, i.e. when you're logged on as a user type "su" without quotes, and enter your root password. HTH

Typing "su" by itself quite often works, but to be sure that you get the correct root PATH environment, it's usually better to type "su -" (without the quotes, but with the dash).
