Exercise: Creating Local Users

In this lesson, you'll learn about the different types of input and output and how to redirect and control those types of input and output. We'll then walk through an exercise that focuses on creating users on a Linux system - this exercise builds upon the exercise that we did in the Password Generation and Shell Script Arguments lesson.
