How do I add a user in Ubuntu? [closed]
Solution 1:
Without a home directory
sudo useradd myuser
With home directory
sudo useradd -m myuser
Then set the password
sudo passwd myuser
Then set the shell
sudo usermod -s /bin/bash myuser
Solution 2:
Here's the command I almost always use (adding user kevin):
useradd -d /home/kevin -s /bin/bash -m kevin
Solution 3:
There's basicly 2 commands to do this...
- useradd
- adduser (which is a frendlier front end to useradd)
You have to run them has root. Just read their manuals to find out how to use them.
