In order for this to work the calling program MUST be running as root or have permissions to the user commands in command line. This NPM module is still in early development and has only been tested on the listed operating systems:

• CentOS 6

Coding Examples

    var sysUser = require('sysuser')();

    // create user
    sysUser.add('appUser',['-d','/home/custom/HomeDir'],function(err,uid){
    	if(err){
    		console.log('ERROR',err);
    	}else{
    		console.log('removed');
    	}
    });
