creating a new user using shell only ? ( RH 9 )

CooLMaN · 04-04-2004, 09:59 AM

Hey,
I have a server with SSH and everything working running OS: RH 9.

I have SSH access to him as root, and i wanna create a user ( using the ssh root access ) lets say username: coolman password: ******

with that will have the exactly same premmisions as the root user .

so here is what im asking about:

1. create a user using ssh2 protocol .
2. setting the new user same premmisions as the 'root' user.
3. allowing the new user ssh2 protocol access to .

thank you all,
CooLMaN .

adduser
chgrp (user)
then use

passwd (user)

to make a password.

First,
Thank you !

second;
chgrp (user) gives me:

Code:

root@hostname [~]# chgrp username
chgrp: too few arguments

whats wrong :| ?

its:
1. adduser <username>
2. chgrp <username> ~
~ = for root premmisions
3. passwd <username>
