[SOLVED] Adding users with command prompt

I'm doing as the beginers guide says for adding non-sudo users to my installation. I'm using

adduser

to do this. For the bash bit is pressing enter to just have /bin/bash, which I assume is default ok? I also pressed enter to have default for user ID. The longer way around it had this as an example:

useradd -m -G users,audio,lp,optical,storage,video,wheel,power -s /bin/bash archie

I'm looking in particular at the /bin/bash archie bit at the end. Do I leave it or make sure it's got the name of the user at the end e.g. in my case

/bin/bash ben

? It's just when I tried to do that the first time It gave me some message about it not being there.
