Code:

useradd -g group -c ‘User Name’ -d /path/to/home/directory -s /path/to/shell username

"man script" to log terminal sessions.

You may need to use expect to interact with the passwd command to set the users initial passwd or minipulate the std in and std out since the passwd command requires user input.

Hi,

Thanks for the response, btw how to set limitation for each users access :

example : john = just only can read files
smith = can read and write

where is the logs for each users activity which created it?

please advice

Thank you

Here is a good explanation for permissions and groups, as for the logs : depending on the shell you've chosen they may be located at "/home/folderr/of/user/.bash_history"

Hi sysgate,

how if i want to log for all users activity into the file generate each day and only root can open the file ?

Please advices

Thank you

If you want to achieve this, the logic should be as follows :
echo Logs for user John; cat /home/john/bash_history > /root/userslog.file && chmod 700 /root/userslog.file # this will make it available only for root.
echo Logs for user Mike; cat /home/mike/bash_history >> /root/userslog.file # This will append Mike's logs, and leave a comment whose logs are these.
The same for other users. When this is done, just do : mailx -s "Users' logs" your@adminmail.tld < /root/userslog.file
Something like that, this is what I can think of on the fly, certainly, there are more elegant solutions (I have something in mind).
