View source for Adding user accounts

When new group members join, they'll need access to our file and program server on both Windows and Linux, and a few odds and ends. Here's how to get that done the right way.

'''FIRST:''' Have the user decide on a username and password that they will re-enter continuously during this process. They will be denoted as ''new_username'' and ''new_password'' throughout this set of instructions.

= Linux =
* Log in to the cluster head node, either ''via'' SSH or at the machine.
* Add the user account:

 sudo useradd -g bionmr -m -s /bin/bash ''new_username''

* Add a password to the new account:

 sudo passwd ''new_username''

* Add a Samba password to the new account:

 sudo smbpasswd -c /etc/samba/smb.conf -a ''new_username''

* Add an Apache password to the new account:

 sudo htpasswd /etc/apache2/htpasswd ''new_username''

* Allow the user to log in ''via'' SSH:

 sudo sed -e 's,^\(AllowUsers\),\1 ''new_username'',' -i /etc/ssh/sshd_config

= Windows =
== Creating the account ==
* Log in to the user's workstation on an existing account, and use the Control Panel to create a new '''Administrator account'''.
* Add a password to the newly created account. Make sure the user can remember their password.
* Log out and back into the new account.
