Subject: RE: changing password
If you're telnetting into the box, you need to
cd /usr/sbin
../adduser (username)
otherwise you can add /usr/sbin to your PATH and type it from
anywhere.
You can also use the command useradd and userdel to add and remove
users. They're also locate in /usr/sbin
Then after you've added the new user, you can set the password by
using:
cd /usr/bin
../passwd (username)
you should also check out:
man useradd
man userdel
man passwd
