+How to Create a User Account Without useradd Command in Linux?
+======
+
+There are three commands are available in Linux to create an user account.
+
+Did you ever tried to create a user account in Linux using manual method?
+
+I mean to say without using an above three commands.
+
+If you don’t know how to do that? we are here to help you on this and will show you in details.
+
+Have you wondering, how it’s possible? If yes, don’t worry, as we have mentioned many times that anything can be done on Linux. It is one of the example.
+
+Yes, we can create it. Are you excited to know more it?

+
+
+
+I don’t want to you to wait any more. Let’s do it right away.
+
+To do so, first, we need to find out last created UID and GID information. Once you have these information handy then proceed to next step.
+
+```
+# cat /etc/passwd | tail -1
+
+tuser1:x:1153:1154:Test User:/home/tuser1:/bin/bash
+```
+
+Based on the above output. Last created user UID is 1153 and GID is 1154. To experiment this, we are going to add `tuser2` in the system.
+
+Now, add an entry of user details in /etc/passwd. There are seven fields exist and you need to add required details.
+
+```
++-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
+|username:password:UID:GID:Comments:User Home Directory:User Login Shell|
++-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
+    |         |     |   |      |            |                  |
+    1         2     3   4      5            6                  7
+
+1- Username: This field indicates the User name. Characters length should be between 1 to 32.
+2- Password (x): It indicates that encrypted password is stored at /etc/shadow file.
+3- User ID: It indicates the user ID (UID) each user should be contain unique UID. UID (0-Zero) is reserved for root, UID (1-99) reserved for system users and UID (100-999) reserved for system accounts/groups
+4- Group ID (GID): It indicates the group ID (GID) each group should be contain unique GID is stored at /etc/group file.
+5- Comment/User ID Info: It indicates the command field. This field can be used to describe the user information.
+6- Home directory (/home/$USER): It indicates the user's home directory.
+7- shell (/bin/bash): It indicates the user's shell.
+```
+
+Add the user information in end of the file.
+
+```
+# vi /etc/passwd
+
+tuser2:x:1154:1155:Test User2:/home/tuser2:/bin/bash
+```
+
+You have to create a group with same name. So, add a group details in /etc/group file as well.
+
+```
+# vi /etc/group
+
+tuser2:x:1155:
+```
+
+Once you done the above two steps, then set a password for user.
+
+```
+# passwd tuser2
+
+Changing password for user tuser2.
+New password:
+Retype new password:
+passwd: all authentication tokens updated successfully.
+```
+
+Finally, try to login with newly created user.
+
+```
+# ssh [email protected]
+
+[email protected]'s password:
+Creating directory '/home/tuser2'.
+
+$ls -la
+
+total 16
+drwx------.  2 tuser2 tuser2   59 Jun 17 09:46 .
+drwxr-xr-x. 15 root   root   4096 Jun 17 09:46 ..
