Hello,

how can i make a new user account on a redhat box from ssh with root access?

thx

There are plenty of ways to do that...

you can add a normal user then afterwards edit the /etc/passwd file and change his uid and gid to 0 eg.
user:x:0:0::/home/user:/bin/bash

Hope that works.. Or if you need to know more then ill glad to point out a copule of more ways to do that..

dlc2000 do you want to create a user that has root access or create a user using root access? They are two entirely different things. If you do want to add a user that has root access HaShoo was on the right track. He didn't mention though that useradd would be the command to run though to add the account initially.
