There is no command-line method for this procedure.
The logon name of the user must comply with UNIX user-naming
conventions. It must contain only lowercase alphabetic and numeric
characters, no more than eight characters, and at least one
alphabetic character. It must not include either a colon (:)
or a newline character.
A user identifier (UID), default shell, and home directory are
automatically assigned to the user. If your NIS domain has special
requirements for these values, you can change them when you add the
user to the domain or at any later time.
