how to setup a user accout
 

hi

how would i go about setting up new users accounts?

with either the :
useradd
or
adduser
command(s)

note:
adduser is more "user friendly" so to speak

or if you are in your linux desktop, click on your Start button in the toolbar and a icon for user accounts should be under settings or preferences. im a linux newb myself, but ive added a user b4, just have to be in there to actually give u specifics. or do like the other guy said and in a terminal type adduser <name>
or
useradd <name>
and maybe type
addpwd to password it.

addpwd ?? :confused:
all can be specified if you use useradd you just type :
useradd -u UID -g GROUP -d HOMEFOLDER -p PASSWORD NAME
and the command for setting passwords by itself is :
passwd

but again all that is automated in adduser as it prompts you for all this stuff and you type them in ..

hrmm... how would you determine what UID to use?
