List of Packages
adduser
This package includes the adduser and deluser commands for creating
and removing users.
.
- adduser creates new users and groups and adds existing users to
existing groups;
- deluser removes users and groups and removes users from a given
group.
.
Adding users with adduser is much easier than adding them manually.
Adduser will choose appropriate UID and GID values, create a home
directory, copy skeletal user configuration, and automate setting
initial values for the users password", real name and so on.
.
Deluser can back up and remove users home directories
and mail spool or all the files they own on the system.
.
A custom script can be executed after each of the commands.
