Hi,

When i use useradd, i can specify the uid and gid of the user I create, but i can make fluxbox working (i just get the terminal mode).
Code Sample

$ groupadd -g 4000 mygroup
$ useradd -u 4000 -g 4000 -m -k /etc/skel myuser


When i use adduser, i can't specify uid and gid but fluxbox is working.

So is it a way to have both : ability to specify uid and gid and having fluxbox working ?
