I am trying to install MySQL 5.5 on Solaris 10. I executed the code useradd -r -g mysql mysql where a group called mysql is already created using groupadd command.

I get the following error : UX: useradd: ERROR: invalid syntax.

Is -r option not availablr on Solaris ? Am I missing something. I am newbie to Soalris.

    Welcome to the land of UNIX (and Solaris). The commands, while named the same, sometimes have different switches/arguments. Just use man command to lookup information.
