Hi:

http://docs.hp.com/en/B2355-90692/useradd.1M.html

a) Track a list of unique UID's.

For example:

useradd -u ###1 -g users -d /home/login_account -s sh -c User_name, Phone #, Dept, else login_account

For 2nd user:

useradd -u ###2 -g users -d /home/login_account -s sh -c User_name, Phone #, Dept, else login_account

Hi:

You have asked no less then eleven (11) basic questions today. In one of your threads you said, "see actually this was the question asked to me in interview. so i am very eager to know those things."

My answer to that is READ and experiment on a test system! Besides manpages there is a tremendous, free library here:

Oh Geeez;

You're new to unix and going for an interview and can't find these answers on your own? You don't even really give out any points? (* 10 of 38 *)

Well, I'm sure they'll hire you. All they ask now-a-days is - "...Do you have ten fingers and can you count to 10...?" I'm sure if you say:

"..Uno, dos, tres....", you'll be hired.

See you living on the forum for awhile, just remember to give points.

ouch.
Boys play nice.

Gany the guys here do have a point, you have been asking very basic questions, questions that can be answered by using the man pages or by doing a simple online search here in the forums.

My two cents.

Have a nice day.

You can download the Puttycs tool, It's purpose is to send the same command to each PuTTY window.
