VMWare ESX-3.5: Add a user

Hi,

1) I have installed the software ESX-3.5 in machine A
2) I have installed the VI Client at Machine B
3) User "Root" is the only user who is able to login to ESX-3.5 physically (at the server itself) and remotely (through the VI Client)
4) I need to ADD another user, say it the name is "ConsoleUser" who will be able to login to ESX server physically and remotely.
5) My questions:
First: What is the command to add the user?
Second: What is the command to put the password for this user?

6) Thank you

vikshi,

Per this link, the solution is like this:

" The exact command I used is useradd -g tac -G tac -c "Admin" admin1."

1) If you understand this command please explain and apply it to the user that i have created

2) Please Explain, what is it?
* "useradd -g... " : What is -g?
* "...tac -G ...": What is "tac"? What is " -G"? (How to create it?)
* " ....tac -c ...": What is "tac"? What is " -c "?
* " Admin" admin1: What is it?

3) Please apply to this user:
* User name: ConsoleUser
* The password: consolepassword
*If we have to create a group; which group and how to do it?

4) Thank you
