The following commands will need to be prefaced with the <command>sudo</command> command. Please see <ulink url="https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo">RootSudo</ulink> for information on using <command>sudo</command>.

Adding a New Group

66.

The <command>addgroup</command> command is used to create a new group on the system. To create a new group, type: <screen>addgroup newgroup</screen> The above command will create a new group called <emphasis role="strong">newgroup</emphasis>.

67.

Adding A New User

68.

The <command>adduser</command> is used to create new users on the system. To create a new user, type: <screen>adduser newuser</screen> The above command will create a new user called <emphasis role="strong">newuser</emphasis>.

69.

Options

72.

The default behavior for a command may usually be modified by adding a <emphasis role="strong">-- <emphasis>option</emphasis></emphasis> to the command. The <link linkend="ls"><command>ls</command></link> command, for example, has a <emphasis role="strong">-s</emphasis> option so that <command>ls -s</command> will include file sizes in the listing. There is also a <emphasis role="strong">-h</emphasis> option to get those sizes in a "human readable" format.

73.

Options can be grouped in clusters so <screen>ls -sh</screen> is exactly the same command as <screen>ls -s -h</screen> Most options have a long version, prefixed with two dashes instead of one, so even <screen>ls --size --human-readable</screen> is the same command.
