adduser accounts

I found a workaround to this but figured it was worth mentioning. I tried to add a user to linux on my pp. I figured it would be nice not to have to work as root and the ftp connection was refused as root by the pp. Anyway adding the user account was easy enough and the ftp was working good. But when the pp was power cycled the user account was removed. The home directory for my user was still there but the user account was not listed in the password file.

My solution has been to use sshfs to transfer my files instead of ftp because sshfs doesn't care if you use root and it is actually easier to use with mac osx then fetch and ftp. But it would be nice to be able to add a user and not have to work as root in linux.
