== How to Create a User ==

Step by step creating a new user on p655-4

Type:
<pre>
smitty
-Security and Users
-Users
-Add a User
</pre>

Fill in the following fields only!!! Other information will break the user script:

<pre>
User NAME (8 character limit)
User ID (Must match userid in LDAP)
Primary Group (must match group in LDAP)
Group SET (any additional groups)
</pre>

Press Enter to Create the account

Now you must delete the home directory that it made in the wrong location
<pre>
rm -rf /home/*username*
</pre>

Now you must edit the /etc/passwd file to reflect the correct information
</pre>
emacs /etc/passwd
</pre>

Change the shell and home directory to the correct values:

Possible shells include:
<pre>
/usr/bin/bash
/usr/bin/csh
/usr/bin/tcsh
</pre>

Then as root type passwd *username* to change the password to the users initial password.

Test the account by attempting to login as them. The password should be expired already.

== Enabling Batch Queing ==

To enable the user to use LoadLeveler (Batch Queing) you must add them to the loadl group. Edit /etc/groups by hand

The user must also be added to /etc/hosts.equiv (follow the other examples in the file)
