+
+YES, we can create new user by manually adding an entry in the `/etc/passwd` file. 
+
+For example, if we need to create a user called `john`. 
+
+Step 1: Add an entry to `/etc/passwd` file, so user gets created.
+
+`echo "john:x:2001:2001::/home/john:/bin/bash" >> /etc/passwd` 
+
+Step 2: Add an entry to `/etc/group` file, because every user belong to the primary group that has same name as the username.
+
+`echo "john:x:2001:" >> /etc/group`
+
+Step 3: Verify if the user got created
+
+`id john`

+
+`/etc/passwd` is a configuration file, which contains users information. Each entry in this file has, 7 fields,
+
+`username:password:UID:GID:Comment:home directory:shell`
+
+`username` - The name of the user.
+
+`password` - This field is actually a placeholder of the password field. Due to security concerns, this field does not contain the password, just a placeholder (x) to the encrypted password stored in `/etc/shadow` file.
+
+`UID` - User ID of the user.
+
+`GID` - Group ID 
+
+`Comment` - This field is to provide description about the user.
+
+`home directory` - Abousulte path of the user's home directory. This directory gets created once the user is added.
+
+`shell` - This field contains the absolute path of the shell that will be used by the respective user.

+<summary>What is the UID the root user? What about a regular user?</summary><br>

+
+UID of root user is 0
+
+Default values of UID_MIN and UID_MAX in `/etc/login.defs`
+`UID_MIN` is `1000`
+`UID_MAX` is `60000`
+
+Actually, we can change this value. But UID < 1000 are reserved for system accounts.
+Therefore, as per the default configuration, for regular user UID starts from `1000`.
