To add a new user, run:

sudo adduser userid

To add a system user suitable for running daemon processes, run:

sudo adduser --system --no-create-home --group userid

See man adduser for more options. NB. Maximum username length is 8 chars - although this script won't enforce it, it will stop many processes/tools from displaying the username properly.
