Continuing from Step 8 in the previous section, in the left pane click Users and then select Create User from the drop-down list.
In the Username field, type a Username shown in Table 3.
Type the first name (optional) and last name (required) for ajohns as shown in Table 3.
Do not check Create Home Directory.

This is a NetWare option only.
Type the same password in both the Password and Retype Password fields.

If the user you are creating is to match a Windows user as described in Table 3, be sure the password matches the password in Windows.
Do not check Set Simple Password.

This is not required for NNLS.
(Optional) If desired, type a Title and other information you want to appear in eGuide search results.
Click OK > OK.
Click the Browse icon to locate a Primary Group for the user.
In the Object Selector window, click the Down-arrow next to the lab object.
Click the Down-arrow next to the Users object.
Click LUMUsers.
Do not change the Samba settings.

If you do, a Samba password will not be set and you will not be able to complete the Samba-related tasks in this guide.
Click OK > OK.
Repeat this process for the other users listed in Table 3 and for any additional User objects you want to create.
