Most unixen have an &quot;adduser&quot; command. I can't say for certain that FreeBSD does or doesn't, but &quot;man adduser&quot; would be a good place to start a search.

Fantastic.<br />
<br />
Thank you Tim.<br />
Your answer was very clear despite the fact that my general UNIX understanding is far frm that. I was looking around at FreeBSD for a while but I couldn't find what I was looking for...<br />
<br />
I'm eternally grateful.

I'm trying to setup a user account to receive email on a UNIX server. I have never touched UNIX before and I'm a little lost. &nbsp;There are existing mail accounts and I do know how to change a password. I'm wondering if I can somehow copy one of the other user directories, and then rename it and change the password.<br />
<br />
If you decide to help me there's 50 easy points in it for you but you would need to take it really easy on me, because I'm so new.<br />
<br />
I think the version of the software I am using is FreeBSD 2.2.7-RELEASE (sb) #0 1998. <br />

Unix is a multitasking, multi-user computer operating system originally developed in 1969 at Bell Labs. Today, it is a modern OS with many commercial flavors and licensees, including FreeBSD, Hewlett-Packard’s UX, IBM AIX and Apple Mac OS-X. Apart from its command-line interface, most UNIX variations support the standardized X Window System for GUIs, with the exception of the Mac OS, which uses a proprietary system.
