adding users

[Margaret_Doll]

You also use

useradd -u 515 -g 100 -c "The Name of the User" -d /home/directory  
UserAccountName

where -u is the user's unique id
             -g is the group to which he/she will belong

You just have to create the passwd for the user after this.

I do a "tail" on /etc/passwd so I can determine the next "-u" number to 
use.
