I am a power user and I have to tell your lesson is better than a lot of books out there. Keep it up Sir!

Historical note. GECOS is pronounced "GEE-kose" and refers to the General Electric Comprehensive Operating Supervisor, a mainframe OS dating from the 1960s. GE later sold their mainframe business to Honeywell, who dropped the "E" and called the OS GCOS, General Comprehensive Operating Supervisor. I worked on a GCOS system in the late 70s and early 80s. Some early Unix systems at Bell Labs used GECOS machines for print spooling and various other services, so this field was added to carry information on a user's GECOS identity. GCOS was a good OS to work with and had some Unix-like features. Thanks for the fine video, keep up the good work!

I love all the people in the comments attempting to "correct" you and point out there are more efficient ways to run some of these commands. Guys. This is for beginners. Going step by step and walking through each command one at a time. Could he have used cat less? Sure, but then he'd have to explain more commands. Why pollute the explanations with more command explanations when the topic is about user account management.

i am in a path of discovering Linux, and i must say your explanation was tremendously helpful and straight to the point. I have gone to your other videos and concise and straightfoward i found them to be. Thanks a lot.

Great video, well explained thank you! I came here because I'm learning about security and figured I need to learn Users. I'm interested in videos on how to protect against vulnerabilities (CVE's) that are being found with scan tools like NMAP. Besides using difficult passwords and updating, I guess there is more to do. Just subscribed!

Oh thanks you very much for this vidéo. So i just install Linux MINT Cinnamon 21.1. There is a tool on system parameter window called users and groups. Is it the visual tool assigned to do it ?? And if yes ? How could use it to manage permission for different user on same workstation (limited folder access by example) ??

Any chance of doing a series about using freeipa and smartcards/yubikeys to do standard logins? You are what I am trying to be, but things like the PAM settings are hard to work with and some of us are trying to advocate for more linux, less windows environments. Something like that would go a long way. GREAT content by the way, love everything you do.

Thanks Jay! Your presentations are clear and concise. This video is fantastic!!!

Good example why it is a good idea to explicitly mention all the options is at 22:40. As you can see system user got a shell. Which is not a good idea I think.

Watching this videos again after a month. I fell I keep getting better from practicing what's in these videos.

"...ridiculous large font..." you say.
I say "100% adequate for any CLI tutorial" keep it up.

Also, when are you going to make a video on setting up ip addresses (static and dynamic) for Ethernet and WIFI?
pretty please!
