Leaving aside the question of security (and discaiming any responsibility for the outcome), what do you mean that you cannot run adduser? Maybe it simply isn't in your path (on some systems /usr/sbin and /sbin are only in the path of root by default and when you su you have the environment of the ordinal user). Either add it to your ordinal user's path or see su manual page for useful options. Andre. -- ================================================================ # Andre E.
