Thanks. >=20 > http://cvs.gentoo.org/mailman/listinfo/gentoo-user >=20 > kabau Let me explain myself. I was used to type 'useradd nick' to add a user with dir & co. So i tought (wrong it seems, and the error message didn't help me), that there was a bug. And i never thought a user list was the right place for bug report (btw, if gentoo-user is a good place for bug report, please tell me, thanks in advance), so i posted my problem here. Concerning the other question, you are right, this is not the good place, i thought of this thing just before sending the message, and didn't even think that there was a list more suited for this (but i was already a subscriber of gentoo-user.. not a excellent memory ;) (the next time i'll browse better in the portage tree, the answer was there.. humm). Btw, it's odd to see that all my questions that i thought were really dev-related (install/system questions, plans, hotplug) were not answered, unlike the not-so-dev-related ones. Don't misunderstand me, i really appreciate your answers (thanks all!), i just find this strange. Thanks again everyone, and sorry for my 'bad' questions, I'll try to answer my future ones by myself (or elsewhere). --=20 Sylvain OBEGI=20 Email : katios@nolabel.net ICQ : 661913=20
