Thanks for replying...
Fortunately there is no comma in my case, so i don't really need to
do any substitutions.
I'm not sure if you made a mistake or not, in typing the '-u' flag,
because my mkpasswd doesn't support that option.
We are doing pretty much the same things (in creating a user), but
I get permission denied after entering the password (during an ssh
attempt). You don't have this problem ? Can you think of anything
that might be responsible for this ?
