Command: adduser - add a new user to the system
Syntax: adduser user group home-dir
Flags: (none)
Examples: adduser ast other /usr/ast # How user ast could be added
adduser bin operator /usr/src # How user bin could be added
Adduser adds a new user to the system by making new entries in
/etc/passwd and /etc/shadow for the new user, creating a new home
directory, and copying the contents of the template home directory
/usr/ast into it. The user-id of this new user will be the first free
number not less than 10. The password is initially empty, the full name
must be set, and the shell is the Bourne Shell, /bin/sh. Use passwd,
chfn, and chsh to change.
