Blake,

If the user home directory exists its simple , just to create the user with useradd command with the same homedirectory.
Ex:
# useradd -u -d/home/tecport -s/usr/bin/sh -c "TCP User" -m tecport ; passwd techport

hth,
Raj.

Blake;

u can re-create the same user id with same UID, and GID. e.g

#useradd -u -g -c "owner-name" -d -s /usr/bin/ksh

#passwd user-id

same for other user.

please check if user home directory is present.

Cheers;

Hi Blake,
If you have deleted username & password,then you can add the user by useradd command: A user can be created using the useradd command; you have to specify the user (login) name at the command line to create a new user.
Syntax:
You can provide many options with the useradd command to customize the new user creation process.
# useradd -o -u 101
define the UID
#useradd -g users
Define primary groups
#useradd -G groupname
define secondary groups
#useradd -C â Comment"
define the comment field
#useradd -m -d /home/username
make a home directory for the user
#useradd -s /usr/bin/sh
define the default shell
#useradd -e 9/2/2007
define an account expiration date
#useradd username
define the username
A home directory will be created : /home/
It also copied the startup files from the /etc/skel directoy to the home directory.[ Now here you checked whether previous home dir exist or not]

Password : With password you can set the password for user account.
# passwd
