Linux Fundamentals - Creating a New User Using the adduser Command

The video tutorial covers user management in Linux, focusing on creating new users and groups using the 'add user' command. It explains the process of setting up a new user, including assigning a password and verifying the creation by checking the home directory and file permissions. The tutorial also highlights the differences between 'add user' and 'user add' commands, particularly in setting default shells. Finally, it demonstrates logging in as the new user and interacting with the system, setting the stage for a discussion on file permissions in the next lecture.
