noobsauce i know!!!

I am trying to go all out here.. I have centos 5.0 and i am trying to start from scratch.

HOW DO I:
add a user with ssh abilities and auto create them a home directory?

I have looked online and are getting pwned. I can create a user no prob.

i have tried -s /bin/bash and tried adding them to -g wheel and it still wont allow me to ssh with that user.

Any thoughts?

To set a new password, type the following command:

passwd TCIM_user_name
