Operating System: Solaris 10

How do I add a new user and specify the password from the command line after logging in as root?

man useradd

and man passwd.

Alternatively, you can:
- edit /etc/passwd then run pwconv, passwd, mkdir, chown (the old way).
- use smc
- enable (webminsetup) and use webmin from a browser

simple one line solution to all your needs is:

Quote:

useradd -d /any/dir/ -m -c "any comment" -s /bin/default_shell -u UID -g group_name -G additional_group1,additional_group2 username

useradd -u 1002 -g 102 -m -d /home/export/user7 -s /bin/shThe
-m is to create the directory if it doesn't already exist.
And to set the password, you have to use the passwd command:
passwd username

Make sure you run both the commands as root.
