Hello All!

Something that has been bugging me for a while. This may seem like an 
elementary task (which is probably why I can't find information on it 
using Google) but I need to create a user with the following 
characteristics :

- using 'useradd' command
- no login shell
- owner of a daemon that runs under that user.

Something like the user that apache runs under. What is the full 
command, including options, that I should execute? The reason for this 
sudden need is because of something that affects Jakarta Tomcat.

Regards,
pascal chong
