How to add a ssh user in FreeBSD server

To add a new user to a FreeBSD server using SSH, you will need to follow these steps:

  1. Log in to the server using SSH. Use the ssh command to log in to the server as a user with privileges to add new users.

For example:

refer to‮al:‬utturi.com
ssh user@server
  1. Add the new user. Use the adduser command to add the new user. The adduser command will prompt you for the necessary information, such as the user's name and password.

For example:

adduser
  1. Set the user's password. Use the passwd command to set the user's password.

For example:

passwd newuser
  1. Add the user to the wheel group (optional). If you want the new user to have privileges to use the sudo command, you can add them to the wheel group. Use the pw command to add the user to the group:
pw usermod newuser -G wheel
  1. Log out of the server. Use the exit command to log out of the server.
