Live and recent posts from across the Fediverse tagged #useradd, aggregated by home.social.

  1. Hint: use adduser, which is perl wrapper around useradd when working interactively and useradd from scripts, as it is more portable.

    (And if you’re setting up a server in an automated fashion, let cloud-init, etc., handle it for you.)

    #linux #userAdd #addUser #cloudInit #server #setup #interactive #scripted

  2. Linux: We have no idea why folks think we’re hard to use.

    Also Linux: Would you like to use useradd or adduser to add a user to your system?
