Hi, I'm pretty new to UNIX and LINUX and am trying to find out what utility to use to manage accounts. Thanks for the help in advance.
Hi,
What kind of Unix are you using ?
Almost every "flavour" has useradd and userdel... There're some graphic tools, like Solaris admintool ( SMC now ), HP/UX has SAM, AIX has smitty...
In addition to the possible GUI options, most unix flavors have a CLI. You can read about each using 'man <command>'
AIX: mkuser, rmuser
BSD: adduser, rmuser
HPUX, Solaris, Linux, Tru64: useradd, userdel
Cheers,
Keith
Just FYI...
It is always good to describe your environment in your question... not knowing the platform you are using makes it hard to answer your questions...
at least the OS and maybe the hardware if it is pertinent to your question and our answer...
