useradd/groupadd

Hey all,

I know its probably very elementary, but would anyone know of any URL that would have walkthroughs/how to’s of creating new users and groups through commandline??

thanks guys,

-cheers

You do not need any links, try the manpages.

man useradd
man groupadd

If you are having problems understanding the manual, try Googling both
commands. You will find many HowTos.

And remember, for GUI lovers, you can view
man pages in Konqueror via man:command

e.g.

man:useradd

For “evil” commands that demand you use “info”
pages instead, you can do:

info:date
