I don't mean to be abrupt but, have you checked the documentation yet?
ALL NEWBIES: Please check this page:
http://www.linuxhq.com/guides/
There are lots and lots of stuff here - fun for all the family! :)
Most of your anwsers will be found here.
Tom, incidentally, the page you want is here:
http://www.linuxhq.com/guides/SAG/x2031.html
In fact, both SAG and NAG are on the Mandrake 5.3 CD. You need to install the
rpm.
Now, to answer your question, (please please promise me you'll read the docs,
okay?)
To add a user, type this on the command line:
/usr/sbin/adduser
(You'll need to be root, though)
You'll get a list of options.
eg. to add a normal user, /usr/sbin/adduser -p [password] [username]
Without the square brackets.
