   How to create a new user and set the password?     

  # useradd richard
       
is the simplest syntax.  It will create a new user "richard" with a unique
UID, and new group "richard" with a unique GID.  It creates a new directory
/home/richard owned by "richard" and stuff it with files found in /etc/skel,
etc., etc.

Then, richard needs a password:

        # passwd richard
        New UNIX password: <type new password here>
        Retype new UNIX password: <type it again, since it's not echoed>
        passwd: all authentication tokens updated successfully
