     directory] [-S shell] [-R | -N alternate-config-file]

DESCRIPTION
     addUserAccount adds a local user account or an NIS access account to the
     system.

     The addUserAccount command has the following required parameter:

     -l login-name
          The login name of the new user

     The addUserAccount command has the following optional parameters:

     -y   Requests creation of an NIS access account

     -u user-ID
          The unique user-ID of the new user (local accounts only)

     -g group-ID
          The primary group-ID of the new user (local accounts only)

     -P   Indicates that a password is to be added to the account.  The
          command will prompt the user for the password.

     -E   Indicates that a password is to be added to the account.  The
          command will prompt the user for the password.  The difference
          between -E and -P is that for -E the password specified is assumed
          to be pre-encrypted and will be saved as is in the passwd file.  For
          the -P option, the password specified is treated as plain text and
          will be encrypted before being saved in the passwd file.

          The gecos field of the new user

     -A aging-info
