Best Answer

Use the useradd command. By default, this will add a user and create a home dircetory for that user, which will be located in /home.

EXAMPLE: /usr/sbin/useradd yourname will create the user yourname, and make the directory /home/yourname

Set the password for the new user by running passwd. This will give the user a password and activate the account.

EXAMPLE: /usr/bin/passwd yourname. You will be prompted twice for a password.
