DESCRIPTION
Adduser adds a new user to the system by making new entries in /etc/passwd and /etc/shadow for the new user, creating a new home directory, and copying the contents of the template home directory /usr/ast into it. The user-id of this new user will be the first free number not less than 10. The password is initially empty, the full name must be set, and the shell is the Bourne Shell, /bin/sh .
