within the linux operating system there are commands that may be invoked using the shell. one such command is the useradd command. the useradd command can do the following:
- provide a description of the new user account
- assign expiration date for the account
- set the deletion date of an account based on expiration date of the account
this is a short list of the things that useradd can do. i am currently using ubuntu release 10 on a dell laptop.
have a good week.
