how do I add a user with privs to console access?

how do you add a new user to a SCO system that has the ability to log into the console and get the graphical desktop?

i tried:

useradd test
passwd test ****

but when i log try to log into the console it gives me a bunch of permissions errors...

I dont remember much... so long ago...(6 years now...)
So thoughts:
Why didnt you use scoadmin account?
there is command scohelp...
normally when correctly created you would in the newuser directory the file intalled from /etc/skel
What are the defaults of useradd? (/etc/default/useradd...)
