RE: [cobalt-users] AddUser within SSH

["Chris Demain" <cdemain@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

What kind of user are you looking to add?

For a "real" user user, it's simply
# adduser username
# passwd username
<passwords here>

If you want to get fancy, you can set their shell with -s (I use /bin/false
to prevent users from loging on).  Many other options exist.

Try this:
# man adduser
to see the online manual entry for the command, it does a fair job of
explaining it.
