yes, I think you need to be

I wonder if I succeed in that. I've read a lot about it,
but what I've read thus far doesn't apply to a RaQ4i,
all paths and names have changed, it's gonna be hard.

cadduser is not there for a RaQ4i, a.f.a.i.k.

So far I have never seen anybody show me how easy it is,
all I see is talk. If it is THAT easy, where are the examples?
Can you give me an example commandline for adduser on a RaQ4i
when adding a standard user to the /home/sites/home domain?

Another thing I just discovered;
When I add/alter email-aliases via the siteadmin
of the home virtual site, the virtusertable
gets to have entries like these:

aliasuser1@xxxxxxxxxx    user1
alias2@    user2
aliassuser1@xxxxxxxxxx    user1
aliass2@    user2

so, in this example I have altered the alias of user2,
and notice that the domain is wiped out of it (after the @).
Needless to say, email to user2 does not arrive
at the user after having done that.
So, where does the GUI obtian the non-existing domain name?
