Error when creating user.

[kirstin]

Hello,

I get this error when creating a new user:


Error Creating User nils

Details

Unix User created successfully
Cannot find a home directory after the system user creation for nils
The home directory for nils was not created.

Any idea why?

EDIT:

I manually deleted the user and userdir, then got back to the first error i got when trying to add this user.

Error Creating User nils

Details

Error creating User: useradd: unknown group nils
Cannot find a home directory after the system user creation for nils
The home directory for nils was not created.

Make sure the /home directory isn't out of space.

If that's okay then let us know what OS Distribution you're running and perhaps someone with a similar system will be able to help you.
