[-e expire_date] [-f inactive_days]
[-g initial_group] [-G group[,...]]
[-m [-k skeleton_dir]] [-o] [-p passwd]

DESCRIPTION
Creating New Users
When invoked without the -D option, the useradd command creates a new
user account using the values specified on the command line and the
default values from the system. The new user account will be entered
into the system files as needed, the home directory will be created,
and initial files copied, depending on the command line options. The
options which apply to the useradd command are:

-c comment
The new user's password file comment field.

-d home_dir
The new user will be created using home_dir as the value for the
user's login directory. The default is to append the login name
to default_home and use that as the login directory name.

-e expire_date
The date on which the user account will be disabled. The date
is specified in the format YYYY-MM-DD.

-f inactive_days
The number of days after a password expires until the account is
permanently disabled. A value of 0 disables the account as soon
as the password has expired, and a value of -1 disables the fea-
ture. The default value is -1.

-g initial_group
The group name or number of the user's initial login group. The
group name must exist. A group number must refer to an already
existing group. The default group number is 1 or whatever is
specified in /etc/default/useradd.

-G group,[...]
A list of supplementary groups which the user is also a member
of. Each group is separated from the next by a comma, with no
intervening whitespace. The groups are subject to the same
restrictions as the group given with the -g option. The default
is for the user to belong only to the initial group.

-m The user's home directory will be created if it does not exist.
The files contained in skeleton_dir will be copied to the home
directory if the -k option is used, otherwise the files con-
tained in /etc/skel will be used instead. Any directories con-
tained in skeleton_dir or /etc/skel will be created in the
user's home directory as well. The -k option is only valid in
conjunction with the -m option. The default is to not create
the directory and to not copy any files. This option may not
function correctly if the username has a / in it.

-o Allow create user with duplicate (non-unique) UID.

-p passwd
The encrypted password, as returned by crypt(3). The default is
to disable the account.

-s shell
The name of the user's login shell. The default is to leave
this field blank, which causes the system to select the default
login shell.

-u uid The numerical value of the user's ID. This value must be
unique, unless the -o option is used. The value must be non-
negative. The default is to use the smallest ID value greater
than 99 and greater than every other user. Values between 0 and
99 are typically reserved for system accounts.

Changing the default values
When invoked with the -D option, useradd will either display the cur-
rent default values, or update the default values from the command
line. The valid options are

-b default_home
The initial path prefix for a new user's home directory. The
user's name will be affixed to the end of default_home to create
the new directory name if the -d option is not used when creat-
ing a new account.

-e default_expire_date
The date on which the user account is disabled.

-f default_inactive
The number of days after a password has expired before the
account will be disabled.

-g default_group
The group name or ID for a new user's initial group. The named
group must exist, and a numerical group ID must have an existing
entry .

-s default_shell
The name of the new user's login shell. The named program will
be used for all future new user accounts.

If no options are specified, useradd displays the current default val-
ues.

NOTES
The system administrator is responsible for placing the default user
files in the /etc/skel directory.

CAVEATS
You may not add a user to an NIS group. This must be performed on the
NIS server.

/etc/passwd - user account information
/etc/shadow - secure user account information
