You want to create a new user named "mjohnson" on a Debian machine at the command line. You want to make sure that this user has a home directory and create a password for the user. Of the following options, which one will give you the desired result? Select only one answer.

NOTE: I use the word "password" for the user's password for the sake of the exercise. In real life, it would not be accepted because it is insufficiently complex.

1.

Code:

adduser -l mjohnson -c "Mark Johnson" -p password -d /home/mjohnson

2.

Code:

adduser -d /home/mjohnson -c "Mark Johnson" mjohnson

3.

Code:

adduser -h /home/mjohnson -c "Mark Johnson" -p password

4.

Code:

useradd -l mjohnson -c "Mark Johnson" -p password -h /home/mjohnson

5.

Code:

useradd -n mjohnson -c "Mark Johnson" -h /home/mjohnson
passwd password

6. None of the above options will work.

Answer later.

None of the above.

 

Correct answer is #6. If you were to use the command "adduser" with no switches, you would be guided through an interactive process of creating a user on the command line.
