Add user in Unix from command Line in CentOS

[thecoolone]

I tried to add a new user using the command line commands "useradd" and
"adduser" but with no luck. The user names are added but i cannot login
into the system using the just created username and password. Whats
wrong?? y isint it working??
And also i wanted to know that when i login as a regular user and then
use "su" in the terminal and then as root in the terminal try to do
"adduser" command it says "bash command not found". why does this
happen. im a superuser in the terminal and y cant i execute the
"adduser" command.

And finally i would like to know if there is a way to manually add a
user in the centos remotely from the command line. This is very
important to me right now.

any advice is welcomed.

thanx in advance

I'm haven't tried this in CentOS but i assume you forgot:

passwd <username>

(as root) set the password for this user.
You did not mention it anyways ...

"useradd" is to add an existing user to a group.
You'll need it as well once you have created your user.

"adduser" but with no luck.

This is what you want.

I believe muha answer is the right one for you.
