Account Management on Linux
I have just set up my first linux installation. Now I would like to set up user accounts for my wife and my son (don't want them to mess through my stuff or to damage the system!). What should I do now? Thank you for your advices so far this forum was really useful to understand everything so far!

cbdarts is an unknown quantity at this point
You could use the "useradd" command to add a new user, then the "passwd" command to set a password for it.

Either use "useradd --help" or "man useradd" to learn more about what you can do with this, and how to use it.

Any more doubts, please ask

Chaitanya
