I have added two users using the command useradd
but they do no show up in the lightdm/unity-greeter login screen. So there is no way to graphically login for them. It seems Accounts Service (whatever that is) is not reading them in. How can I reload that or cause them to appear in the login window? I am a Fedora user so I have no clue about Ubuntu and how it does these things. Thanks.

This will take care to add this new user to the system with settings defined in
/etc/adduser.conf
.The low-level command
useradd
is available but not all default settings are made
