Ubuntu 704 Server - Adding a new user

08 September 2007 by martin

Added myself a new user (should have read the useradd man page first, should be able to set a lot of this all in one command)

1. useradd ...
2. sudo vi /etc/passwd to set group and default shell
3. sudo vi /etc/group and add new user to the same groups as existing user
   Need to include group admin for sudo
4. create the home directory /home/...
   chown username folder
   chgrp groupname folder
