How to create a new user?

To create a new user in a Linux system, you can use the useradd command. Here’s a step-by-step guide:

1. Open the terminal.

2. Run the following command to create a new user (replace username with your desired username):

   sudo useradd -m -s /bin/bash username

   • sudo: Runs the command with superuser privileges.
   • useradd: Command to create a new user.
   • -m: Creates a home directory for the user.
   • -s /bin/bash: Sets the default shell to bash.

3. Set a password for the new user:

   sudo passwd username

4. Verify the user creation by listing the home directories:

   ls -l /home

You should see a directory for the new user. If you have any questions or need further assistance, let me know!
