I haven't heard of usercfg until your message. As for adding a user, you
type:
#adduser "newusername" (no quotes)
#passwd "newusername"
After typing the second command, it will ask you to enter the new password
twice to confirm it.
Log out, then log in with the new user, and you should have access to the
common programs (things that won't hurt your system if you mess up.)
