1. Using "useradd" command.

2. Manually editing the /etc/passwd, /etc/group, create home directory manually, change perm to 700 to home dir, copy all file from /etc/skel to home dir and last change the password with passwd command.

There are 3 ways to create users:
   1. Using  `useradd` command
   2. Using   `smuser` command
   3. Adding user by modifying the following files:
           a. '/etc/passwd'
           b. '/etc/groups'
    Then, Updating the '/etc/shadow' file by executing 'passwd user_name'  command.

#useradd -d /export/home/shiva -m shiva
then add a user account in /export/home directory...
then see the status of password shiva user by using this command
#logins -x -l shiva
Output: shiva 100 other 1
/export/home/shiva
/bin/sh
LK 000000 -1 -1 -1
then assign the passwd to shiva user this command
#passwd shiva
newpassword:xxxxx123
re- try new passwd:xxxxx123
then chek passwd information
#logins -x -l shiva
Output: shiva 100 other 1
/export/home/shiva
/bin/sh
PS 000000 -1 -1 -1
