Create linux user¶
To create a new linux user type:
adduser <name_of_the_user>
Enter all user information + password
No password login¶
If you want to create a user where it is not possible to log in with any password type:
adduser --disabled-password <name_of_the_user>
Login is still possible starting from the root user with:
su <name_of_the_user> -
Create sudo user¶
You can add a existing user to the sudo group with:
usermod -aG sudo <name_of_the_user>
No sudo password required¶
To allow executing the sudo command without entering the password execute
visudo
This opens an editor. Change the line %sudo ALL=(ALL:ALL) ALL to %sudo ALL=(ALL:ALL) NOPASSWD: ALL
Now all users in the sudo group can execute sudo commands without entering password.
