bash: adduser: command not found on centOS
Clash Royale CLAN TAG#URR8PPP
I installed CentOS 5.5 on my VMWare 8 recently and I am trying to add a new user on the system. I am unable to add the user unless I use su - option. I believe it has to do something with path not set properly.
I updated the path and here is what it looks like /usr/kerberos/sbin:/usr/kerberos/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin:/home/uone/bin:/sbin
I believe the command is in /sbin dir which is already a part of path. Can anyone suggest me what else I might be missing?

I know the OP answer was solved, however for those who are running CentOS from within the docker container, which appears to be missing both adduser and useradd, the solution is to install shadow-utils (under root obviously):
yum install shadow-utils
