create user in linux

HI

Wana  create a user with or without using useradd command or adduser command in Linux.


Follow these steps to do that. 

1. With useradd command
   
              # useradd username(Akki) 
         
                Now user named as username(Akki) is created.

2. With adduser command

             # adduser username(Akki)

We can use both the command to create user in Linux.



Create user in linux without useradd command or adduser command.


Follow the following steps to create user without the useradd command.

                      # mkdir     /home/akkamal

                         # vipw
