Re: adduser: Only one or two names allowed.



Hi Florian,

As fas as I know, the error message "adduser: Only one or two names
allowed." means that you provided more than two non-option arguments to
adduser; it has nothing to do with the number of users on your system.

What is the exact command that you used? A simple "adduser guest" should
do the trick.


Thanks for your reply.

The command that I used and triggered the error msg was: adduser guest.
According to the man page I thought also that should do the trick, but it didn't.

However, I already found a way to add another user:

   adduser guest --home /home/guest

did the trick. Don't know what went wrong in the first place.

Greetings, Manon.
