I created a new user by useradd leah passwd leah smbpasswd -a leah I checked the home dir, leah didn't exist. Does leah not have access to the netlogon file? I don't want leah to be in the @admins.

Hi, I think ur using Debian linux. Use adduser command or useradd -d /home/<user> -s /bin/bash -m <user> It's simple. Regards, Balakrishna
