20              used to store user's real name and other information.
21
22       -d, --directory=directory
23              Set user's home directory to directory.  If this option  is  not
24              present,  a  default  specified  by the freeIPA configuration is
25              used.
26
27       -f, --firstname=givenName
28              Set user's first name to givenName.

37
38       -s, --shell=shell
39              Set the user's login shell to shell.   If  this  option  is  not
40              present,  a  default  specified  by the freeIPA configuration is
41              used.
42
43       -G, --groups=groups
44              Add this user to one or more groups  in  groups.   groups  is  a
45              comma-separated list of groups.  Each group must already exist.
46
47       -k, --krb-principal=principal
48              Set  this user's principal to principal.  By default the princi‐
49              pal is set to user.

53
54       --addattr attr=value
55              Adds value to attribute attr. Attributes set this way  are  done
56              after other options. If an attribute is listed more than once or
57              already exists in the entry, it  is  considered  a  multi-valued
58              attribute and a list of the values is created.
59
60       --setattr attr=value
61              Set attribute attr to value. Any existing value will be replaced
62              with value.

65              Display the XML-RPC request and response for more verbose debug‐
66              ging output.
67
68       The  mandatory  fields  are:  user, first name and last name. If any of
69       these are not included on the command line you will be  asked  interac‐
70       tively.
71
72       The  password  is asked interactively if not passed on the command-line
73       but it isn't mandatory. Leaving both values blank will leave the  pass‐
74       word unset on the account.
75
76       If no options are passed then all questions are asked.
