Makefile, mklink.data, mkso.data, newuser.desc, newuser.rez:
- initial checkin
README:
- updated installation notes
installit, newuserv.c:
- deleted (obsolete)
newuser.1:
- renamed to newuser.8
newuser.c, newuser.8:
- account home directories are now made in /home rather than /user
- made all the routines internal to this file to be class 'static'
- fit sources into GNO base distribution builds
- added checks for parsing NEWID_FILE
- added various conchecks to prevent buffer overflow and similar
problems
- ensure the password is at least MIN_PASSWD_LEN characters long
- don't set the terminal type; that is the responsibility of
initd/getty.
- instead of creating explicit files in the user's home directory,
copy every file that is in the SKELETONS directory.
- account creation is now logged via syslogd
- added -g flag for selecting non-default group ids
- check to ensure that the new uid returned by get_next_uid is
not already in use; if it is, then log a warning via syslog,
skip it, and get another uid

In order to run newuser/newuserv, the following files must exist. They
|
|
|
|
|
are installed as part of the GNO base distribution, but you may have to
|
|
|
|
|
install them manually if you received newuser/newuserv as a standalone
|
|

/home
|
|
|
|
|
A directory. All user home directories will be created in this
|
|
|
|
|
directory.
|
|
|
|
|
/var/adm/newuser/newid:
|
|
|
|
|
A text file containing the next UID that newuser/newuserv
|
|
|
|
|
should assign.
|
|
|
|
|
/var/adm/newuser/skel:
|
|
|
|
|
A directory. All plain files in this directory will be copied
|
|
|
|
|
into a user's $HOME directory, when $HOME is created. It is normal
|
|
|
|
|
to have a skelton glogin and gshrc in here.
