In the command line you can use the "useradd" command. As for a GUI, you can run YAST -> Security & Users -> User Management.

Useradd is not working.

Well, you need to read the manual in order to find out how to use the command correctly. You can read manuals by doing "man command" e.g. "man useradd". On a simple level, you do

useradd userName

userName will be the user name of the user you want to create. After creating the user, you need to give the user a password, so you would do

passwd userName

Thanks for the information I have lerned how to make user in YAST en in console but i have more questions about making user.

How can give the full name of the user on the console.

I have ever heared that you can make user vim.

How can i create user in vim ? and how can i give the users a homedirectory (in vim, console and yast)

To add the name of the user you would do

useradd -c "FirstName SecondName" userName

In order to create a user using vim, you need to use vim to open /etc/passwd and then add something like

userName:x:1000:100:FirstName LastName:/home/userName:/bin/bash

You will then have to run the passwd command like above in order to give them a passwd.

I suggest you look at RUTE because it contains a lot of info on Unix basics.

You can also try the adduser command, which is basically the same thing as the useradd command, but it works a bit differently.
