How to create an account in UNIX server
- Thread starter adaaje
- Start date
It depends on the flavour of Unix you are using.
There may or may not be a graphical interface.
But you should always be able to use command line interface.
For a start, your 1st question, something like
man adduser
man useradd
You will need root access for executing these commands,
but not for reading the manual.
and 2nd:
man who
man finger
man ps
cat /etc/passwd
hope this helps

As a rough (Solaris) guideline to create account "newuser"
(must have root access) and a newgroup
mkdir –p /export/home/newuserdir
groupadd –g 201 newgroup
useradd –d /export/home/newuserdir –g newgroup –u 202
–s /bin/ksh newuser
You will of course have to add a password and modify permissions
