Creating user accounts
Hey everyone I am new to the forums and to Unix. I am currently taking a class on Unix, our teacher posed the question to us How do u create a user account without using GUI or command? We are currently running Knoppix version of Unix and for the life of me I can't figure out how this is possible. Any help or direction would be greatly appretiated. Thx

eurephiadm-usercerts

eurephiadm usercerts(7) 												   eurephiadm usercerts(7)

NAME

       eurephiadm-usercerts
	- Managing user accounts and certificate relations

DESCRIPTION

       For  a  user  to  connect  to a eurephia enabled OpenVPN server, a user account must have been created and activated and an SSL certificate
       available to the user must have been registered.  The user account and certificate the user may use must then be linked together, and  this
       linking the eurephiadm usercert command takes care of.

       It  is also this relation which gives you the option to control which network resources the VPN clients may access, by assigning a firewall
       profile to such user-certificate links.

       Available modes for the usercerts command are:

       -A | --add
	      Register a new certificate and user-cert link

       -D | --delete
	      Delete a certificate and user-cert link

       -S | --set-fwprofile
	      Sets the firewall access profile for a user-cert link

       -l | --list
	      List all registered user-cert links

       -h | --help <mode>
	      Help about a specific mode

       The list mode will list all registered links between user accounts and certificates.

LIST MODE

       The list mode will show all registered user-certificate links

       -S | --sort <sort keys>
	      Define the sorting of the list

	      Valid sort keys are:

	      uid
	       Nummeric User ID

	      certid
	       Nummeric Certificate ID

	      accessprofile
	       Nummeric firewall profile ID

	      registered
	       According to when the user-cert was registered

	      uicid
	       Nummeric user-cert link ID

SET FW PROFILE MODE

       The set-fwprofile mode will update the firewall access profile for a given user-cert link

       Options: (both required)

       -n | --uicid
	      Unique record id of certificate and user account link

       -a | --accessprofile
	      Firewall profile ID

ADD MODE

       The add mode will register a new link between a user account and a certificate.

       -c | --certid
	      Required - Certificate ID

       -i | --uid
	      Required - User account ID

       -a | --accessprofile
	      Firewall profile ID to use for this access

DELETE MODE

       The delete mode will delete a link between a user account and a certificate.

       -c | --certid
	      Certificate ID

       -i | --uid
	      User account ID

       -n | --uicid
	      Unique record id of certificate and user account link

       -a | --accessprofile
	      Firewall profile ID
