Folks I'm new to AIX world. I would appreciate if someone helps me step in creating new user account. We are running oracle 9i in AIX 5.1 box

Thanks in advance
 
useradd -u (your uid) -g (your group id) newusername
 
how about password for that user. Let us say i added user Lance how to do that?
 
passwd lance ===then it will ask u for a new passwd...this is also how you reset it.
 
smitty users
Then select add user / change a users password, etc.
Before you commit the action hit F6 or Esc + 6 to see the command smitty is using.
