4 - Linux User Without Home
Task
The system admins team of xFusionCorp Industries has set up a new tool on all app servers, as they have a requirement to create a service user account that will be used by that tool. They are finished with all apps except for App Server 1 in Stratos Datacenter.
Create a user named javed in App Server 1 without a home directory
Look into the issue and fix the same.
