Neither worked, and both seemed to have the same results (user added, group with same name added, /bin/bash for shell). > If I recall correctly useradd on some distro's will not assign a shell, > thus > when you try and connect there is no environment for you to go into.

Mark Kroska also suggested this, and suggested I try a finger on the user - the shell is /bin/bash. He also suggested I look at /etc/default/useradd - and it has: GROUP=100 HOME=/home INACTIVE=-1 EXPIRE= SHELL=/bin/bash SKEL=/etc/skel So, the shell looks good, right? After creating a user, I can do a su - myuser - and use ls, cat, etc as that user. Also, I looked in /etc/group and GROUP 100 is users. Thanks for the help - any other thoughts?
