NAME
     addUserAccount - add a user account to the system

SYNOPSIS
     /usr/sysadm/privbin/addUserAccount [-y] -l login-name [-u user-ID -g
     group-ID] [-P] [-E] [-G gecos-info] [-A aging-info] [[-C] -H home-
     directory] [-S shell] [-R | -N alternate-config-file]

DESCRIPTION
     addUserAccount adds a local user account or an NIS access account to the
     system.

     The addUserAccount command has the following required parameter:

     -l login-name
	  The login name of the new user

     The addUserAccount command has the following optional parameters:

     -y	  Requests creation of an NIS access account

     -u user-ID
	  The unique user-ID of the new user (local accounts only)

     -g group-ID
	  The primary group-ID of the new user (local accounts only)

     -P	  Indicates that a password is to be added to the account.  The
	  command will prompt the user for the password.

     -E	  Indicates that a password is to be added to the account.  The
	  command will prompt the user for the password.  The difference
	  between -E and -P is that for -E the password specified is assumed
	  to be pre-encrypted and will be saved as is in the passwd file.  For
	  the -P option, the password specified is treated as plain text and
	  will be encrypted before being saved in the passwd file.
