 How to Create a New User in Linux
 To create a new user account, invoke the useradd command followed by the name of
the user.
 For example to create a new user named username you would run:
 sudo useradd usernameCopy
 When executed without any option, useradd creates a new user account using
the default settings specified in the /etc/default/useradd file.
 The command adds an entry to
the /etc/passwd, /etc/shadow, /etc/group and /etc/gshadow files.
 To be able to log in as the newly created user, you need to set the user password. To
do that run the passwd command followed by the username:
 sudo passwd usernameCopy
 You will be prompted to enter and confirm the password. Make sure
you use a strong password.
