It looks like you haven't got /usr/sbin on root's $PATH (as evidenced also by the fact that you're using /usr/sbin/adduser instead of simply adduser). groupadd, groupdel, and the like live there. Fix this and all should be well. /usr/sbin should probably be on root's $PATH anyway, but it's probably a bug in adduser that it doesn't use absolute paths (a potential security hole, even?). You might want to file a bug about this. -- Colin Watson [EMAIL PROTECTED]
