- Create new user:

`useradd {{name}}`

- Create new user with a default home directory:

`useradd --create-home {{name}}`

- Create new user with specified shell:

`useradd --shell {{/path/to/shell}} {{name}}`

Add command to create a system user to useradd. Creating a new system user is common administrative task on the average linux server. Adding the appropriate command to tldr-pages will be rather useful, since it isn't something you do every day and is easy to forget. 2016-09-10 12:45:36 +03:00
