.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
utility modifies user login information on the system.
|
|
Default values for the user are taken from the information
|
|
provided in the
|
|
.Pa /etc/usermgmt.conf
|
|
file.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
After setting any defaults, and then values from that file,
|
|
the 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
|
|
is the home directory which will be created and populated for the user,
|
|
should the -m option be specified.
|
|
.It Fl e Ar secs-to-expiry
|
|
provides the number of seconds since the epoch (UTC) at
|
|
which the current password change expire. This
|
|
can be used to implement password aging.
|
|
A value of
|
|
0 can be used to switch off this feature.
|
|
The default value for this field is 0.
|
|
See
|
|
.Xr passwd 5
|
|
for more details.
|
|
This value can be preset for all users
|
|
by using the
|
|
.Ar expire
|
|
field in the
|
|
.Pa /etc/usermgmt.conf
|
|
file - it has the format:
|
|
.Ar expire <secs-to-expiry> .
|
|
.It Fl g Ar gid/name/=uid
|
|
gives the group name or identifier to be used for the new user's primary group.
|
|
If this is
|
|
.Ar "-g=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
|
|
.Xr /usr/share/adduser/defaults
|
|
file - it has the format:
|
|
.Ar group <groupname/groupid/=uid> .
|
|
.It Fl l Ar new-user
|
|
gives the new user name.
|
|
It must consist of alphanumeric characters, or the characters '.', '-' or '_'.
|
|
.It Fl m
|
|
moves the home directory from its old position to the new one.
|
|
.It Fl o
|
|
allows duplicate uids to be given.
|
|
.It Fl p Ar password
|
|
specifies an already-encrypted password for the new 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 - it has the format:
|
|
.Ar password <encrypted-password> .
|
|
.It Fl s Ar shell
|
|
specifies the login shell for the new user.
|
|
This value can be preset for all users
|
|
by using the
|
|
.Ar shell
|
|
field in the
|
|
.Xr /usr/share/adduser/defaults
|
|
file - it has the format:
|
|
.Ar shell <login-shell> .
|
|
.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 - they have the format:
|
|
.Ar range <starting-uid>..<ending_uid> .
|
|
.It Fl v
|
|
enables verbose mode - explain the commands as they are executed.
|
|
