Thread: Adding a new user

i new running own ubuntu server. tried add second user server following command:

code:

sudo useradd -d /home/user -m user -p 12345

when log account, prompt is:

code:

$

opposed should get:

code:

user@ubuntu-server:~$

no commands work, except exit. did wrong, , can fix it?

sounds /etc/skel did not copied on new user's home. if "ls -al" contents of home directory, see files?

sounds valid shell not assigned.

can post output of

code:

grep user /etc/passwd

(where "user" username created)
