Adding Users

It is recommended that you place all user accounts on the second (option) disk.
To add an additional user, follow these instructions:
1. Log in to the system as root.
2. Go to Toolchest > System > System Manager > Security and Access Control.
3. Click the Add a User Account icon.
The dialog box appears. Read the information in this and every dialog box before
proceeding.
4. Click Next.
5. Type a username for the new user.
6. Click Next.
7. Type the new user's full name.
8. Click Next.
9. Press Next to accept the Local Account default.
10. Choose one of the Password options.
11. Click Next.
12. If you chose to add a password, enter it now (in both boxes), then click Next.
13. To accept the unique, automatically generated User ID (number), click Next.
14. To accept the default Primary Group for the new user, click Next.
15. In the Home Directory window, remove the default /usr/people/username
directory.
Because it is recommended that you place all users on the second (option) disk,
rather than the system disk, replace the default /usr/people/username
directory with the home directory of the new user on the option disk.
To do this, type the path to a location on the disk to which you wish to add the new
user. For example, /disk2/username.
16. Select Verify and create as needed.
17. Click Next.
