I couldn't make any sense of the sentence "Eval variables in this file." so I left it alone. also allow creation of new local group when NIS groups are used. this can probably be done more elegantly, and needs more thought.

.Nm adduser
|
|
[-batch username [group[,group]...] [fullname] [password]]

.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
.Nm Adduser
|
|
is a simple program for adding new users. Adduser checks
|
|
passwd, group and shell database. It creates passwd/group entry,
|
|
HOME-directory, dotfiles and sends new user a welcome message.
|
|
|
|
.Sh RESTRICTION
|
|
.Bl -tag -width Ds -compact
|
|
.It Sy username
|
|
Login name. Only lowercase characters or digits. Maximum length
|
|
is 8 characters (see
|
|
.Xr setlogin 2
|
|
BUGS section).
|
|
The reasons for this limit are "Historical".
|
|
Given that people have traditionally wanted to break this
|
|
limit for aesthetic reasons, it's never been of great importance to break
|
|
such a basic fundamental parameter in UNIX.
|
|
You can change UT_NAMESIZE in /usr/include/utmp.h and recompile the
|
|
world; people have done this and it works, but you will have problems
|
|
with any precompiled programs, or source that assumes the 8-character
|
|
name limit and NIS. The NIS protocol mandates an 8-character username.
|
|
If you need a longer login name for e-mail addresses,
|
|
you can define an alias in
|
|
.Pa /etc/aliases .
|
|
.It Sy fullname
|
|
Firstname and surname.
|
|
.Ql Pa \:
|
|
not allowed.
|
|
.It Sy shell
|
|
Only valid shells from shell database or sliplogin and pppd
|
|
.It Sy uid
|
|
Automatically generated or your choice, less than 32000.
|
|
.It Sy gid/login group
|
|
Your choice or automatically generated.
|
|
.It Sy password
|
|
If not empty, password is encoded with crypt.
|
|
.El
|
|
|
|
.Sh UNIQUE GROUP
|
|
Perhaps you're missing what *can* be done with this scheme that falls apart
|
|
with most other schemes. With each user in his/her own group the user can
|
|
safely run with a umask of 002 and have files created in their home directory
|
|
and not worry about others being able to read them.
|
|
|
|
For a shared area you create a separate uid/gid (like cvs or ncvs on freefall),
|
|
you place each person that should be able to access this area into that new
|
|
group.
|
|
|
|
This model of uid/gid administration allows far greater flexibility than lumping
|
|
users into groups and having to muck with the umask when working in a shared
|
|
area.
|
|
|
|
I have been using this model for almost 10 years and found that it works
|
|
for most situations, and has never gotten in the way. (Rod Grimes)
