The useradd tool seem not to be able to add users when a home dir is stipulated. I know there has been a bug filed some time back. Am I likely to end in a mess if I just edit /etc/passwd/group to add a user? Are there other things to edit beyond the two mentioned above? ___

Thank you both for the techniques. I think it used to take a few more steps to make it possible to ssh to root. Last time I did that it involved editing a pam file /etc/user_attr. Maybe more but that was a good while ago. I see its been made simpler. Or maybe I was all wet back then too. __
