.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
utility modifies user login information on the system.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Default values are taken from the information provided in the
|
|
.Pa /etc/usermgmt.conf
|
|
file, which, if running as root, is created using the built-in defaults if
|
|
it does not exist.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
After setting any defaults, and then reading values from
|
|
.Pa /etc/usermgmt.conf ,
|
|
the following command line options are processed:
|
|
.Bl -tag -width Ds
|
|
.It Fl G Ar secondary-group
|
|
is the secondary group to which the user will be added in the
|
|
.Pa /etc/group
|
|
file.
|
|
.It Fl c Ar comment
|
|
is the comment field (also, for historical reasons known as the
|
|
GECOS field) which will be added for the user, and typically will include
|
|
the username, and, perhaps, contact information for the user.
|
|
.It Fl d Ar home-directory
|
|
Sets the home directory to
|
|
.Ar home-directory
|
|
without populating it; if the
|
|
.Fl m
|
|
option is specified, tries to move the old home directory to
|
|
.Ar home-directory .
|
|
.It Fl e Ar expiry-time
|
|
sets the time at which the current password expires. This can be used
|
|
to implement password aging. It should be entered in the form
|
|
.Dq month day year ,
|
|
where month is the month name (the first three characters are
|
|
sufficient), day is the day of the month, and year is the year.
|
|
Time in seconds since the epoch (UTC) is also valid. A value of
|
|
0 can be used to disable this feature.
|
|
This value can be preset for all users using the
|
|
.Ar expire
|
|
field in the
|
|
.Pa /etc/usermgmt.conf
|
|
file.
|
|
See
|
|
.Xr usermgmt.conf 5
|
|
for more details.
|
|
.It Fl f Ar inactive-time
|
|
sets the time at which the account expires.
|
|
See the
|
|
.Fl e
|
|
option.
|
|
.It Xo
|
|
.Fl g Ar gid | name | Li =uid
|
|
.Xc
|
|
gives the group name or identifier to be used for the user's primary group.
|
|
If this is
|
|
.Ql =uid ,
|
|
then a uid and gid will be picked which are both unique
|
|
and the same, and a line added to
|
|
.Pa /etc/group
|
|
to describe the new group.
|
|
This value can be preset for all users
|
|
by using the
|
|
.Ar gid
|
|
field in the
|
|
.Pa /etc/usermgmt.conf
|
|
file.
|
|
See
|
|
.Xr usermgmt.conf 5
|
|
for more details.
|
|
.It Fl L Ar login-class
|
|
This option sets the login class for the user. See
|
|
.Xr login.conf 5
|
|
for more information on user login classes. This value can be preset
|
|
for all users by using the
|
|
.Ar class
|
|
field in the
|
|
.Pa /etc/usermgmt.conf
|
|
file.
|
|
See
|
|
.Xr usermgmt.conf 5
|
|
for more details.
|
|
.It Fl l Ar new-user
|
|
gives the new user name.
|
|
It must consist of alphanumeric characters, or the characters
|
|
.Ql \&. ,
|
|
.Ql \&-
|
|
or
|
|
.Ql \&_ .
|
|
.It Fl m
|
|
moves the home directory from its old position to the new one.
|
|
If
|
|
.Fl d
|
|
is not specified, the
|
|
.Ar new-user
|
|
argument of the
|
|
.Fl l
|
|
option is used; one of
|
|
.Fl d
|
|
and
|
|
.Fl l
|
|
is needed.
|
|
.It Fl o
|
|
allows duplicate uids to be given.
|
|
.It Fl p Ar password
|
|
specifies an already-encrypted password for the user.
|
|
This password can then be changed by using the
|
|
.Xr chpass 1
|
|
utility.
|
|
This value can be preset for all users
|
|
by using the
|
|
.Ar password
|
|
field in the
|
|
.Pa /etc/usermgmt.conf
|
|
file.
|
|
See
|
|
.Xr usermgmt.conf 5
|
|
for more details.
|
|
.It Fl s Ar shell
|
|
specifies the login shell for the user.
|
|
This value can be preset for all users
|
|
by using the
|
|
.Ar shell
|
|
field in the
|
|
.Pa /etc/usermgmt.conf
|
|
file.
|
|
See
|
|
.Xr usermgmt.conf 5
|
|
for more details.
|
|
.It Fl u Ar uid
|
|
specifies a new uid for the user.
|
|
Boundaries for this value can be preset for all users
|
|
by using the
|
|
.Ar range
|
|
field in the
|
|
.Pa /etc/usermgmt.conf
|
|
file.
|
|
See
|
|
.Xr usermgmt.conf 5
|
|
for more details.
|
|
.It Fl v
|
|
enables verbose mode - explain the commands as they are executed.
|
|
.El
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Once the information has been verified,
|
|
.Nm
|
|
uses
|
|
.Xr pwd_mkdb 8
|
|
to update the user database. This is run in the background, and,
|
|
at very large sites could take several minutes. Until this update
|
|
is completed, the password file is unavailable for other updates
|
|
and the new information is not available to programs.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
utility exits 0 on success, and \*[Gt]0 if an error occurs.
