Help adding user login in Unix Sco
We have made numerous requests to our system administrator to add new employees at login screen ( passwords not required ) to no avail.
I can login into root but not sure how to proceed from there.
We have a 10 yr. old version of SCO
Can anyone help?
I know very few unix commands okay I'll admit I am a unix idiot needing a link to step by step commands

securetty
SECURETTY(5) Linux Programmer's Manual SECURETTY(5)
NAME
securetty - file which lists terminals from which root can log in
DESCRIPTION
The file /etc/securetty contains the names of terminals (one per line, without leading /dev/) which are considered secure for the transmis-
sion of certain authentication tokens.
It is used by (some versions of) login(1) to restrict the terminals on which root is allowed to login. See login.defs(5) if you use the
shadow suite.
On PAM enabled systems, it is used for the same purpose by pam_securetty(8) to restrict the terminals on which empty passwords are
accepted.
FILES
