• To add user 'test.user1' use the above command
• UID and GID are required and need to be unique;
• if GID is not mentioned it defaults to UID value for creating group
• GROUP NAME defaults user name; can be overridden using --group flag
• -p flag can be used set unique password for user; script encodes the password and writes it to the shadow file
• if -p flag is not set; the default password for the user created is 'passw0rd'
• The default shell is bash; if shel is not requrired use flag and value as -->>> --shell NO
• THe default home directory created is /raid/home/<user_name> ; if default home directory is not required use flag --> --directory NO
