Hello all,
I am trying to install my first FTP user
for my web server, and I am having problem
locating the adduser command. I can do
a "ls" and see the adduser command but
this is what I get below:

bash: adduser: command not found

thx for any help

The sbin paths (/sbin and /usr/sbin) are usually include in tne PATH
environment variable only for root, because they suppost to contain only
system administration stuff (like adduser).
I think he is tryng to use adduser as normal user, not root, and he (of
course) can not.

Other things that might help:
which adduser
type -path adduser
locate adduser

For the last command you might need to executed "updatedb" first.
