Summary
Not all of these will work with vfsync.
Add user accounts with adduser To drop to that user from your account su – bob (the hyphen is important display groups for a user su -c 'groups' bob
other commands mentioned include :-
useradd – adds user to a grop gropdel / delgroup – manage groups deluser – delete user
All these are covered in man pages
change user password
sudo passwd bob
lock a user out of their account : sudo passwd -l bob – unlock a user account : sudo passwd -u bob
delete a user
sudo deluser bob will only remove a user, to remove their files use
cd /home ls rmdir -r bob (use recursive with extreme caution)
When you set up a user, you add info, this is called finger information, if you need to change this, then you can use the chfn command with
sudo chfn user
Again this is just a summary and should be used in combination with the video.
