- 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
|
|
archive:
|
|
|
|
/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.
