    Create User In Solaris

    Hey Gang
    I need help with following:
    1)I would like to create a user in unix and allow him/her to log in.
    2) I would like to check user privliges and if need be revoke some.

    The practice book I am using said the following:

    For example, to create a directory for a user with a login name of smith
    type:
    # mkdir smith

    Type
    chown smith smith and press Return. The user now owns the home directory.
    I have an error

    chown: unknown user id smith

    You can tell that I am new to this unix thing right?

    you really havent searched very hard have you? google is your friend

    man useradd
    or for solaris you can use admintool

    Also this is an oracle forum not a unix forum, unix questions go to www.unix.com

    Lol, geesh Davey first it was MH now it's you being the phallus cranium. Hmmm, I think the title of "phallus cranium of the day" should be given out daily to the members with the most intestinal fortitude
    Oracle it's not just a database it's a lifestyle!

    Which version of Solaris? admintool is on 8, smc is on 9, but useradd works on both.

    Hey HippieKiller, I don't think you had a problem with davey23uk,
    I think you were just looking for an excuse to say "phallus cranium!"
