Add groups as needed by editing /etc/group
Use vipw to change the password list + master database.

create a user home dir by mkdir /home/username and copying a few start files 
like .profile or .login etc.

You can always use a skel dir to copy.

then chown username.groupname /home/username + initial files and your done.

Substitute username for the user's name and groupname for the user's initial 
group.
