new groups should be created. This is similar to useradd's -r flag.
Closes my own PR bin/22791. Patch by URA Hiroshi with some minor changes
by me.
No objections in tech-userlevel@ for multiple days.
Options without arguments go first in a bunch (see /usr/share/misc/style)
"add", "del", "info", "mod" arguments to user(8) and group(8) are command
modifiers, not normal text.
-D is not optional when setting the defaults for useradd(8)
Also add a missing .Ar to groupinfo.8
- Move SEE ALSO section before the HISTORY section as described in
mdoc(7) with:
+ removing traing dot.
+ spliting files into FILES section.
- Refer pathnames using .Pa (rather .Ar or .Xr).
+ Moved all internal definitions from usermgmt.h to user.c
+ Added prototypes to usermgmt.h
+ Allow defaults to be set at build time
+ Check the effective uid is 0 if any data is to be modified
+ Check all numeric uids and gids really are numeric
+ Fix a bug (reported by lenb at sasquatch.com) where new ranges were
appended to old ranges, rather than replacing them
+ Add userinfo(8) and groupinfo(8) utilities (if EXTENSIONS is
defined), whereby user and group information can be displayed. Add
manual pages for new utilities. Add front-end calling from user(8)
and group(8) accordingly.
+ Make all functions visible outside the user.c file again. User and
group manipulation may be split out into a separate shared lib in the
future
+ Split off main function into a separate main.c
+ Changed default group to be "users"
+ Changed despatch table for commands to work in a more sane manner
+ Added "default-group" target to Makefile, so that the default group
can be made easily.
groupadd/groupmod/groupdel functionality, along with two front-end
utilities, user(8) and group(8).
Based on the addnerd package, but most of the interface has been
completely rewritten, and suggestions from simonb and mrg have been
incorporated.
