I can offer you my help for free of course, but it
shoul be via mail.
And if you post any question to this list, I am sure
that anyone of all the people in this list can help you.
1. what exactly you problem is?, you can not add a user?
2. which messages is sent to you by the program?
3. send the output and the command as you type it in
your linux box.
Regards. :)
