I'm sorry if I'm not understanding exactly what your professor wants, I think
he is asking you to add a new user to the list of possible users of the
computer - that is, add a new user account. If so, then the answer is pretty
simple, since Linux (Red Hat) has a "useradd" command that you just have to
supply inputs to. Your python program will start by importing "subprocess" and
then using it to spawn a child process in which the useradd command will run.
Read the subprocess documentation here:
http://docs.python.org/library/subprocess.html?highlight=subprocess#subprocess
and see if this, plus the man page for useradd, doesn't get you going.
