Open the “Terminal” by pressing the keys “Ctrl, Alt and t” simultaniously on your keyboard
I have already invoked the “Terminal” here.
Here type the command “sudo space adduser” and press Enter.
You will be prompted for a password.
I will give the “Admin” password here and Enter.
The typed password on the terminal, is not visible.
So we have to type the password carefully.
Once done, a message “adduser : Only one or two names allowed” is displayed.
So let us create a new user account named “duck”.
Type the command :
sudo space adduser space duck, and press Enter.
We have created a new user called “duck”.
In the process of creating a new user, a seperate “home” directory for that user has also been created.
Please note that we will be prompted for a new password for the user “duck”.
Type the password of your choice, in my case im going to type “duck” as the password and press Enter.
Please type the new password again.
The password is asked twice for security reasons and for confirmation.
Now our password for the new user is updated.
We will be asked for other details too.
But for the time being, I will enter only the “Full Name” as “duck” and leave the rest of the details blank by pressing the Enter key.
Enter.
I will confirm this by entering “y”.
This is to confirm that all the information is correct.
Let us now check, if the user account has been created.
To do this, please type the at the command prompt
“ls space /(slash) home”
and press Enter.
To show the list of users in the home folder “ls” command is used.
And here is our newly created user named “duck”.
Let me switch back to the slides.
