Adding a unix account involves creating the login and home directory,
assigning a group, adding a description, and setting the password. The
.profile script should then be placed in the home directory.
# add jsmith account .. the -m parm forces the home dir creation
useradd -c "Jim Smith" -d /home/jsmith -m -s "/usr/bin/ksh" jsmith
# change group for jsmith
chgrp staff jsmith
# change jsmith password
passwd jsmith
# change jsmith description
usermod -c "J.Smith" jsmith
# remove ksmith account
userdel ksmith
# display user accounts
cat /etc/passwd
/* here is a sample .profile script, for sh or ksh */
