|
|
|
|
.Pp
|
|
|

|
|
|
without any further options,
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
will show the current defaults which will be used by the
|
1999-12-07 00:31:42 +03:00
|
|
|
.Nm
|
|
|
|
utility. Together with one of the options shown for the first version
|
2000-10-03 16:34:05 +04:00
|
|
|
of the command,
|
|
|

|
|
|
.It Fl p Ar preserve-value
|
2000-10-03 16:34:05 +04:00
|
|
|
sets the preservation value. If this value is one of
|
|
|
|
.Ql true ,
|
|
|
|
.Ql yes ,
|
1999-12-07 00:31:42 +03:00
|
|
|
or a non-zero number, then the user login information will be preserved.
|
|
|
|

.Pp
|
|
|
|
The following command line options are recognised:
|
|
|
|
.Bl -tag -width Ds
|
|
|
|
.It Fl p
|
|
|
|
preserve the user information in the password file,
|
|
|
|
but do not allow the user to login, by switching the
|
2000-10-03 16:34:05 +04:00
|
|
|
password to an
|
|
|
|
.Dq impossible
|
|
|
|
one, and by setting the
|
2000-08-18 19:49:21 +04:00
|
|
|
user's shell to the
|
|
|
|
.Xr false 1
|
|
|
|
program. This option can be helpful in preserving a user's
|
1999-12-07 00:31:42 +03:00
|
|
|
files for later use by members of that person's
|
|
|
|
group after the user has moved on.

|
|

|
2000-02-28 08:10:56 +03:00

|
|
|
|
.Ql preserve

|
|
|
field. If the field has any of the values
|
|
|
|
.Ql true ,
|
|
|
|
.Ql yes ,
|
|
|
|
or a non-zero number, then user information preservation will take place.
