=== Managing User Accounts ===
A Linux system administrator will be required to manage user accounts on an on-going basis.
Various Linux commands for user account management includes:
:* '''useradd''' - Creates a user account in /etc/passwd file (the option -m creates a home directory for the user)
:* '''userdel''' - Removes an existing user account contained in the /etc/passwd file (the option -r removes the user's home directory as well)
:* '''usermod''' - Modifies fields contained in the /etc/passwd file for that particular username
