I created a new user on my server (running 8.04 desktop edition at the moment), then SSH'ed in as that user. Much to my surprise, I did not have most of the functionality that the main user has. I don't have color coding or autocomplete. My shell looks extremely basic:

I created the user like this: useradd -m username passwd username
Maybe I have to pass more parameters when creating the user. Anyone have any ideas?
