suse 9.0 "adding and removing users"

How do i add and remove users in suse 9.0 ?

useradd command
and ..
userdel command

just simply typing them commands will show you the arguments they take ;)

Cool Thank you, worked great :)

well almost worked, how do i set a password for the user i added ?

*edit*

i see your point now. it does have to be done through the command line...my apologies...

well like i said, if you just type "useradd" in the terminal you would see all the options that that command can take ... so this is your output :

Code:

root@slackbox:~# useradd

usage: useradd  [-u uid [-o]] [-g group] [-G group,...] 

                [-d home] [-s shell] [-c comment] [-m [-k template]]

                [-f inactive] [-e expire ] [-p passwd] name

      useradd  -D [-g group] [-b base] [-s shell]

                [-f inactive] [-e expire ]

and as you can see the -p switch is what your looking for .. and if you wanna make adding users a little easier, you can use the adduser command ...

but with the useradd command you can type something along the lines of :
useradd -u 505 -g users -d /home/newuser -s /bin/bash -p newuserpassword NewUser
