I have installed SCO openServer(TM) The Santa Cruz Operation my terminal is scoansi It works fine but it only works in the super user mode. Is there a way I can set my box to work as multi user. I want it to be used by different users by creating user accounts in /etc/passwd file.

useradd
Many unix's have a program called "useradd".
It may not be in your path. If not, find it (while also seeing if you do have it) by doing: whereis useradd For example, on my system: Code:
[gjduff@melvin gjduff]$ whereis useradd useradd: /usr/sbin/useradd /usr/share/man/man8/useradd.8.gz from a GUI: Example: in gnome's menu: system settings -> users and groups And finally, if the two above ideas fail, here's three pages that show the more traditional approach: http://www.sikh-history.com/computer...eraccount.html http://jove.eng.yale.edu/doco/EIT-AD...t-admin-3.html http://unix.ittoolbox.com/groups/gro...&i=91461&x=ori

useradd example
In case you have useradd, here's an example of me
using it: Code:
[root@melvin gjduff]# /usr/sbin/useradd dingbat -G dinger -s /bin/bash -p dingbat8 [root@melvin gjduff]# passwd dingbat Changing password for user dingbat. New password: Retype new password: passwd: all authentication tokens updated successfully. bash as a default shell. I had to change the password. I think the -p actually takes what is supposed to be the encrypted variation of it. No matter though. You can just use passwd to enter it the normal way.
