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!

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!
