    Creating Users (should be easy 4 you to ans.)

    Ok im taking a Linux Class in college and am working on a "challenge" lab. I need your help because I am new to Linux and am finding it very frustrating. This is the first part and am not sure if i need to create these users and set all there configs in one command or if its multiple. I am using the command line. I believe the command i need to use is "useradd" but then theres a alot more to it with bunches of parameters. I need help Here are the instructions:

    Create 10 users
    ~ 2 users should be created for each department
    ~ each user should be created with a home directory
    ~ Default password should be used for initial login
    ~ Include users 'real name' in the password file (Hint do this when user is created)
    ~ Default shell for all users should be 'bash', with exception to the accountants and management
    ~ Accountants and management should use the 'sh' shell
    ~ Username should have the following format

    - Department
    - (IS) Information systems
    - (PRG) Programmers
    - (ACC) Accountants
    - (MGT) management
    - (HD) Help Dest

    - Usernumber
    -ituser1
    -mgtuser1
    -hduser1
    -hduser2
    -etc...

    Sorry... homework questions are against Forum Rules. You'll need to look into your textbook, or the man pages.

    I do not respond to Private Messages asking for Linux help. Please, keep it on the public boards.
