Hi,
I am new user to Linux. Please, can someone help me out "How to create a USER-ID and GROUP-Id (mqm)?" for WQM installation. I already read Quick beginning for Linux installation. But I didn't find out How to create new user-id and group-id for installation procedure. Thanks  |

You can either manually edit /etc/passwd and /etc/group, or you can either useradd or adduser, depending on the distribution.
Or you can use the fancy GUI tool for managing users that your Distribution will supply.
In all cases you will need to be root.
If you are not root, then merely ask the system administrator to create the user for you.

Hi,
Thanks Jefflowrey for your quick reply. Is it possible to create a new user ID and group-id by terminal command?. Thanks |

useradd or adduser ARE terminal commands.
so is "vi /etc/passwd".
You should be working with a System Administrator though.

Hi.
When I am trying to create a new user-Id and group -id "mqm" in Linux for WMQ Installation by using terminal command "useradd mqm" it says "useradd: group mqm exists - if you want to add this user to that group, use -g". Please, let me know steps to create a new user and group ID for
installation procedure. Thanks |
