The web page where I got the command said I needed it. Said it was to create a home directory.
In any case, I tried: useradd -p password testguy
and I still can't log in at the GUI prompt with the username "testguy" and the password "password".
Do I have to specify to set up a Gnome interface for the user or something like that?
---- I just do
useradd testguy -g dom_users # primary group passwd testguy
and have no problems - but that is a two step process.
I was worried about the '-m' option to use an already screwed up profile as a template which would continue the issue.
