+=== Adding and modifying Users===
-useradd -m -s /sbin/nologin username will create a user without the access to ssh into the server which is more secure if the user is only being used for FTP (they will still be able to user FTP + vsFTPd, NOT sFTP)
+**useradd -m -s /sbin/nologin username** will create a user without the access to ssh into the server which is more secure if the user is only being used for FTP (they will still be able to user FTP + vsFTPd, NOT sFTP)
-useradd –home /home/directory/ username this adds a user with a specific home directory. This is good for chrooting a user to a specific directory.
+**useradd –d /home/directory/ username** this adds a user with a specific home directory. This is good for chrooting a user to a specific directory.
-Adding a new user straight into a group useradd -G {group-name} username
+Adding a new user straight into a group **useradd -G {group-name} username**
 Alternivately you are able to use the following command to add a new user straight into a group you have created with a home directory of /var/www/html and NO shell login (only useable as FTP user)
+<sxh bash>
-useradd -G groupname –home /var/www/testftp/ -m -s /sbin/nologin newusername
+useradd -G groupname -home /var/www/testftp/ -m -s /sbin/nologin newusername
+</sxh>
 Don’t forget to set the password for the user with:
+<sxh bash>
 passwd username
+</sxh>
 you will then be prompted to change the password for the user
