How to create a user

JimKali — Fri, 03 Oct 2008 20:48:00 GMT

I am new to unix actually..

could you give me the full command to create the following users please :-

Username= Davep Name=Dave Paul Access=Admin
Username= Richap Name=richa Access=Admin,db
Username= danial Name=Danial K Access=User,db

To provide Admin access I have heard that I need to install HP's RABC or sudo.

I find it difficult to install sudo.

So if you recommend I will install RABC.

But I request you gurus to give me the full command please... I am actually from the windows team where everything is GUI.And I was asked to create the above 3 users.

If these users don't already exist, you can use SAM to add them. Just invoke "sam" and navigate the GUI.

Here is the command to add user.
useradd [-u [-o]] [-g ] [-G [,]] [-d ] [-s ] [-c ] [-m [-k <skel dir>]] [-f <inactive>] [-e <expire>] [-r <yes|no>] <login> You need root access to add user. Here is an example for the users you mentioned - useradd -m -c "Daniel K" -g User -G db danial Remember that every word is case sensitive. So make sure you know the exact user name and group name before running the command. Set the password of the user by following command example - passwd danial I would recommend that you use sudo. Its not that difficult to configure. Cheers3
