How to create teacher accounts

From Nstl-wiki

You can use the command useradd or yast2's User Management.

Example: Creating system user professorx

[edit] useradd

1. Create a group named professorx.

   # groupadd professorx

2. Create a user named professorx with primary group professorx and supplementary groups teachers and video. (Primary group should NOT be users)

   # useradd -m -g professorx -G video,teachers professorx

3. Set the default password (professorx123 or similar would do).

   # echo 'professorx:professorx123' | chpasswd

4. Modify professorx' home permissions:

   # chmod -R o-rx /home/professorx

5. Change the default umask. (optional)

   # echo 'umask 0027' >> /home/professorx/.bashrc
