In this series of Linux administration videos, we'll look at the process of Linux user account creation for the various families of Linux distros. We'll look at the passwd file, the shadow file, the group file, and the gshadow file. We'll then look at the default settings in the login.defs file. In future Linux tutorial videos, we'll look at the actual process of creating and managing user accounts.

Information in this video could help you prepare for certain Linux certification exams, such as the CompTIA Linux+ exam, a Linux Professional Institute exam (LPI exam), or a Red Hat Linux certification exam.
