.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
This is
|
|
.B newuser
|
|
for GNO/ME. Its basic intent is
|
|
to let people add themselves to the system without requiring the system
|
|
administrator to do it all manually.
|
|
.LP
|
|
.B newuser
|
|
will ask for real name, account name, terminal type and password (verifying
|
|
the password once) and then create the directory /user/(account name) and
|
|
copy a template
|
|
.B gshrc
|
|
into that directory. Then it will add the user to
|
|
.B /etc/passwd
|
|
and exit.
|
|
.PP
|
|
If the
|
|
.B -v
|
|
(verify) flag is selected, everything is done as normal, except
|
|
that the new entry is appended to
|
|
.B /var/adm/newuser/newusers
|
|
instead of being appended to
|
|
.BR /etc/passwd ". "

userID. newuser will increment it as necessary.
|
|
.BR /var/adm/newuser/gshrc " -- This is the 'template' gshrc file"
|
|
that all new users will get. In addition to this, newuser will append
|
|
'set' commands to set $home and $user.
|
|
.BR /etc/passwd " -- Not required if you use -v. But what's the point"

in newuser if you don't have it? :)
