bash: useradd: comand not found using telnet su

[Romeril, Alan]

Hi,
Not the bast place to post this to, but anyway...

Your path is probably wrong, try su - root ( the dash is important as it
does the full logon ).
Or setting your PATH environment variable to include the directory useradd
is in.  su - *should* set the right PATH....

Cheers,
Alan

Hello,

once again I'm stumped.  I telnet into my Linux box as myself then run a
su command to login as root, then I want to add a user so I run the
useradd command and get the response "bash: useradd: command not found"

however if I goto the Linux box and log in as root I can use the useradd
command with no problem.

THANK YOU :-)
