Create a Linux User with non-interactive shell guide

bleso_a · August 17, 2020, 7:24am

This is my first time working on the KodeKloud Engineer platform. I am having issues working with my first task, as I am just developing my Linux knowledge.
Task - Create a Linux User with non-interactive shell.
Can anyone help me with a guide to begin, I looked around for methods and I tried what you see in the image below.

@bleso_a,

Question is to create the user from app03 server, use ssh banner@stapp03 to get into app03 server and try. Best of Luck.

Hello, I did that already but I don’t know the command to use. I tried the one you see in the image below, but I got an error.

Hello, I tried this, and I am still having permission denied error

Hello, bleso_a
Normal user cannot be add new user. You can add user from root user or sudo user. So try with
sudo useradd -s /sbin/nologin mark or switch into the root user sudo -i .
