Creating user account in Solaris
Hi
I need to create a new user account in salaries. Can anyone tell me the cmd to create the new user acc. But the main thing is it should same permissions ,same group etc of already existing group.

For example we have already one user in name “comp” so the newly created user should also have the same permissions, group id etc of the “comp”.

Thanks in advance
