   # roleadd -s /sbin/sh -m -g staff -d /export/osso80adm osso80adm

3. (Optional) Verify that the user was created.

   # cat /etc/passwd root:x:0:0:Super-User:/:/sbin/sh daemon:x:1:1::/: ... nobody4:x:65534:65534:SunOS 4.x NFS Anonymous Access User:/: osso80adm:x:223830:10::/export/osso80adm:/sbin/sh
