I am using a puppy linux system that has addgroup and adduser commands instead of groupadd & useradd commands specified in the postinstall.sh script. Consequently, firebird is not installing normally.

After a long search I finally turned up this page for installing the shadow package that includes the group and useradd commands: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/view/svn/postlfs/shadow.html


However, I rather not be bothered with installing and configuring it. So I am thinking maybe the commands are similar enough in syntax that I can just alias group/useradd to addgroup/user??
