How to create a user

[JimKali]

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><BR /><BR />You need root access to add user. Here is an example for the users you mentioned -<BR /><BR />useradd -m -c "Daniel K" -g User -G db danial<BR /><BR />Remember that every word is case sensitive. So make sure you know the exact user name and group name before running the command.<BR />Set the password of the user by following command example -<BR />passwd danial<BR /><BR />I would recommend that you use sudo. Its not that difficult to configure.<BR /><BR />Cheers3
