Account Creation & Management (Linux+ Objective 2.2.1)

Local accounts are the simplest way to host users on a Linux system. The tools are fairly straightforward, but can Shawn teach how from memory while in his car?
It turns out, apparently so!

4 shawn videos in 2 weeks what a blessing

[@deanbell5164]

cool video but, that is the passenger side of the car in my country.😀

[@shawnp0wers]

lol!

[@inteliconn995]

Thanks!

[@mini_mouseinthehouse]

I really appreciate you making these videos! I am really struggling to study for this exam.
I planned 2 months to study and I am currently working as a SOC Analyst (I could do basic Linux already).
Do you need to remember all of the flags/switches for each command? I am more nervous about that.

[@shawnp0wers]

Not usually. Sometimes the very common flags are expected, and with something like tar, knowing how to extract/compress requires flags. But if memory serves, you can look at the help screens for some apps in the simulations…

@@shawnp0wers Thank you for response!

i always get useradd and adduser mixed up

[@shawnp0wers]

Ha! I plan to make a short about this exact thing. My trick: I always forget all the things I need to put on the command. So there is a script for people like me, with ADD. The “add” in adduser is for me, and that’s how I remember. 🤣
