I am using red hat linux 8

1. To add a new user in Redhat 8, log in as root and issue the following command:
   useradd new_user_name
   where "new_user_name" is the name of the new user you wish to add.
   Next, you need to set the password for that new user:
   passwd new_user_name
   again, replace "new_user_name" with the name of the user you just added.
   When you run passwd as root, you can specify the account you want to change the password for.
   Congratulations! You have added a new user!
   If you want, you can also do:
   useradd someuser -p somepassword
   This will set the password without having to run passwd.
2. userconf

   should be like this (bottom of page):
