[SOLVED] Add New User in Linux

[Yatendra]

Hi,
How can I create an new user account in linux 4 with 5 update?

I guess you have Red Hat or CentOS 4.5, correct? (It doesn't matter though)

In the terminal type:

su
adduser john

It will ask you to provide some info and it will create user john and make him a /home/john directory.
Then you must set a password for the new user, to protect the account.
Some good practices are using more then 6 characters, mix letters, numbers & symbols and not put words that can be found in a dictionary.

There is also a graphical tool to make new users. Look in System->Administration.
