First of all, many UNIX and Linux systems have a script which walks you
through adding users and will offer to add a home directory. But any
UNIX/Linux user should know how do this on the command line.

Let's assume you want to use UNIX/Linux as a central storage facility
for something. You could create users without home directories and thus
groups and permissions to the shared storage. They don't need actual
home directories on that storage facility.

Nice if they DO know... but to say they "should"? Why? Because it is your
preferred method?

Yes, that is what the Solaris man pages are pointing out.  Another Item 
I have forgotten over the decades.  Suns man page is the same man page 
in Linux.

In the Linux world WAD (working as designed) means it's borked from
the start and a losing battle.

One thing about Linux is that it is consistent.
Consistently defective.

It is hobbyware failure.  Two instances of it.

And speak English, not Linux-babble.  What's WAD?

And why are you being such a prick?




> Anyway, idiot, how come you haven't tried Manjaro settings manager?


Why should I have to use a GUI, which calls useradd anyway?

https://github.com/manjaro/manjaro-settings-manager/archive/0.4.14.zip
dialogs/adduserdialog.cpp
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
// Add user
if (Global::runProcess("useradd",
                            QStringList() << "-m" << "-p" << "" << "-U" 
<< "-G" << DEFAULT_USER_GROUPS << username,
                            QStringList(),
                            errorMessage) != 0)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------


You seem to be taking Manjaro failure personally.  Why?

You didn't really think Linux or GuhNoo or Manjaro was bulletproof, did you?

Facts bother Linux loons.
There was a thread a couple of months ago where somebody posted
screenshots of Manjaro tripping all over itself trying to do a routine
upgrade.

Melzzzzz jumped all over it like his mother was being attacked and
accused the people in the thread of lying, faking screen shots and the
usual accusations the Linux loons toss around.

And of course Plunger Boy Willy Poaster and wannabe programmer
Ahlstrom among others joined in with the beating.

Turns out, Melzzzzz was wrong, found a documented bug and finally
admitted his mistake, to his credit. Of course the other spineless
Linux dweebs ran away.

Just another day in the bizarre world of Linux advocacy!

Liar, that isn't documented bug. I admited that I was wrong regarding
octopi... nothing else. But spindrift(you) lied anyway... as you lie
now.

Another lie....

In fact just a few posts ago you admitted that Xorg.conf had to be
edited in order to make Manjaro work.
You are not very good at lying are you?

And again, I am neither of those nyms.
That won't stop you from lying though.
Not that it matters as both of them exposed you for what you are, a
liar.

Sorry but that's the way I see it.
Your snipping only makes you look foolish.

Glad you agree.
I have a 40G partition on /sda that I use to test Linux.
I use EasyBCD as a boot manager to point to the Linux partition.
Works great.
Assuming the Linux distribution is up to the task of course.

I've never tried to install it in a VM.
I tried it on bare metal and it sucks.
Updates take forever for example.
