Identify specific information for a new user created
 
Hello,

I just need to ask a question regarding some information from a newly created user I made.


david2 / home / 1001 / 1001 / bin/bash

This would be the username, home directory, UID, GID and shell correct? I used the tail /etc/passwd command.

Appreciate the help!!

Thanks!
Ziggs

try
Code:

man passwd
fwiw, the home directory cannot be 'home', it's more likely to be '/home/david2'.

okay thank you! But does the rest seem correct? I mean this is the information I read from the lines. Do I have the correct understanding or possible not?


Thanks!
