Creat new administrator on Ubuntu Server

[damonjablons]

I just installed a new Ubuntu Server and I can't accomplish what should be the simplest thing. I want to create a new User and add them to the administrator group. What's the best way to do this?

Thanks in advance!

by the way, if there's a good wiki or tutorial on ubuntu server stuff, please let me know!

Create a new user, add him/her to the admin group (for full access) or modify sudo if you want more limited root access.

I personally find it easiest to manually edit /etc/group, but you may like the command line.

sudo adduser <username> <group>

In terms of a server guide, there are many available. Look at the stickies here.
