How do I add a user? On debian it is just adduser but that does not work on Gentoox. Also how can I change the password on the gentoox user? Thanks in advance for any help with this.

and you'll want
man passwd
to learn how to change passwords

Thanks for the info......

Still can't get it to work though, I must be too stupid or something.

to add a normal user you'll want something like

Code: Select all

useradd username -m -G users,wheel,audio -s /bin/bash

then to set their password (or to change someone elses)

Code: Select all

passwd username
