NAME
       luseradd - Add an user

SYNOPSIS
       luseradd [OPTION]... user

DESCRIPTION
       Adds an user with name user.

OPTIONS
       -c, --gecos=gecos
	      Set  the GECOS field to gecos.  The GECOS field is traditionally
	      used to store user's real name and other information.

       -d, --directory=directory
	      Set user's home directory to directory.  If this option  is  not
	      present, a default specified by libuser configuration is used.

       -g, --gid=group
	      Set  user's primary group to group.  group can either be a group
	      ID of an existing group, or a group name; if group  is  a	 group
	      name  and the group does not exist, it is created.  If the --gid
	      option is not specified, the default group name is user.

       -i, --interactive
	      Ask all questions when connecting to the user database, even  if
	      default answers are set up in libuser configuration.

       -k, --skeleton=directory
	      Populate	the newly created user's home directory with a copy of
	      directory.  If this option is not present, a  default  directory
	      specified by libuser configuration, or /etc/skel if libuser con‐
	      figuration does not specify a default, is used.

       -M, --nocreatehome
	      Don't create a home directory and a mail	spool  for  the	 newly
	      created user.

       -n, --nocreategroup
	      If  a  group  is	not specified using -g, use group name "users"
	      instead of user.	Note that despite the name of the option,  the
	      group will still be created if it does not exist.

       -P, --plainpassword=password
	      Set  user's password to password.	 Note that the password can be
	      viewed while running luseradd using tools such as ps(1).

       -p, --password=encrypted
	      Set user's password to the  password  represented	 by  the  hash
	      encrypted.   Note	 that  the  hash  can  be viewed while running
	      luseradd using tools such as ps(1).

       -r, --reserved
	      The user is a system user.  Users that are not marked as	system
	      user  usually  have automatically selected user IDs above a cer‐
	      tain value  (configured  as  LU_UIDNUMBER	 in  libuser.conf(5)).
	      This  information	 is also passed to the libuser backends.  This
	      option implies the -M option.

       -s, --shell=shell
	      Set user's login shell to shell.	If this option is not present,
	      a default specified by libuser configuration is used.

       -u, --uid=uid
	      Use  user	 ID  uid  for  the  newly created user.	 An user ID is
	      selected automatically if this option is not present.

       --commonname=name
	      Use common name name for the newly created user.	This attribute
	      is  only	supported in some backends (e.g.LDAP), and its support
	      may have further limitations (e.g. LDAP schema rules).

       --givenname=name
	      Use given name name for the newly created user.  This  attribute
	      is  only	supported in some backends (e.g.LDAP), and its support
	      may have further limitations (e.g. LDAP schema rules).

       --homephone=phone
	      Use home telephone number phone  for  the	 newly	created	 user.
	      This  attribute  is  only supported in some backends (e.g.LDAP),
	      and its support may have further limitations (e.g.  LDAP	schema
	      rules).

       --roomnumber=room
	      Use room number room for the newly created user.	This attribute
	      is only supported in some backends (e.g.LDAP), and  its  support
	      may have further limitations (e.g. LDAP schema rules).

       --surname=name
	      Use  surname name for the newly created user.  This attribute is
	      only supported in some backends (e.g.LDAP), and its support  may
	      have further limitations (e.g. LDAP schema rules).

       --telephonenumber=phone
	      Use  telephone  number  phone  for the newly created user.  This
	      attribute is only supported in some backends (e.g.LDAP), and its
	      support may have further limitations (e.g. LDAP schema rules).

EXIT STATUS
       The exit status is 0 on success, nonzero on error.
