NAME

adduser − Create a user account

SYNOPSIS

adduser
 

DESCRIPTION

The adduser program creates a new user account.  This involves gathering information for the account (user’s name, password, etc.), creating an entry for the user in the password file, creating and initializing the user’s home directory, and adding the user’s account to the sprite-users mailing list. 

Adduser is basically menu-driven; its usage should be self-explanatory.  If it runs into problems or you kill it halfway through, it will try to clean up after itself.
