[Cue 90s sitcom intro music]
🎶 "So no one told you Linux was gonna be this way..." 🎶 👏👏👏👏
🛎️ Scene 1: "Welcome to the Server, Monica"
Sysadmin Alex walks into the server room, coffee in hand.
The server is crying.
There are random users named test1, test2, and one called bigdaddy420.
Alex (horrified):
"Who let this happen?!"
Narrator voice:
"Nobody was managing users. Chaos ensued."
Time to fix it.
✨ MONICA HAS ENTERED THE SERVER. ✨
(And no, Monica is not allowed to name his password "monica123".)
🛎️ Scene 2: "Monica Gets a Promotion... Kinda"
Monica’s doing a great job.
She gets promoted to "Senior Monica."
(She asked for a gold plaque but you gave her something better: a new username.)
Monica (wiping a tear):
"It's... it's beautiful."
You even move her home directory so she doesn’t get lost:
Because that's what good system admins do. 🫡
🛎️ Scene 3: "When Monica Forgets Her Password... Again"
Three days later, Monica can't log in.
Turns out she accidentally locked herself out trying to change her desktop background.
You swoop in like a hero:
Monica (overly emotional):
"You saved my life. How can I ever repay you?"
You:
"Stop clicking random buttons, Monica."
🛎️ Scene 4: "Goodbye, Monica... We’ll Always Have /etc/passwd"
Eventually, Monica moves to Bali to open a coconut café.
(she'll be fine.)
Time to clean up:
Server is peaceful again.
The birds are singing.
/home is no longer filled with abandoned junk folders.
You pour yourself another coffee. ☕
Alex (to the server):
"We did good, kid."
[Cue uplifting sitcom outro music]
🎶 "I'll be there foooor youuuuu... when the files start to sloooow..." 🎶
🎯 Moral of the Episode
Create users properly.
Modify them when life happens.
Delete them when they move to Bali.
Manage your Linux user accounts like the sitcom hero you were born to be.
Your future self (and your server) will thank you.
