Introduction to Linux - A Hands on Guide
This guide was created as an overview of the Linux Operating System, geared toward new users as an exploration tour and getting started guide, with exercises at the end of each chapter.
For more advanced trainees it can be a desktop reference, and a collection of the base knowledge needed to proceed with system and network administration. This book contains many real life examples derived from the author's experience as a Linux system and network administrator, trainer and consultant. They hope these examples will help you to get a better understanding of the Linux system and that you feel encouraged to try out things on your own.

useradd command
Hi,
I have been trying this command in RH 6.2:
useradd -u [uid] -g [group] -p [password] -r [loginname] -m
Does anyone know what parameters should i add to include user Full Name in adding new user using this command?

There is no field specifically for a full name. But most people use the comment field for this. Use the -c switch to set the comment.

Or you can use 'adduser' which has more options AND has a field for what you are looking for.

no necessarily true. adduser is frequently just a symlink to useradd. |
