I installed CentOS 3.3 some time ago and the first thing I did after the install was to run a little script that adds my user plus a few other things. The script adds my user like this USER="ulrik" PASSWD="<mypasswd>" /usr/sbin/adduser $USER -p $PASSWD It seemed to work fine except I couldn't login? I searched Google for reasons why I could only login via ssh as

Hi, To add a user to the system on the commandline, I usually use the adduser command. # adduser newuser And that's it. I've been using that command probably out of an old habit, since I've been a long-time Slackware user before. But now I wanted to dig a bit deeper, and some details puzzle me. Whereas on Slackware, 'adduser' is an interactive shell script to create a

at http://wiki.openpbx.org/tiki-index.php?page=Easy+route+to+building+OpenPBX.org there is the following adduser command: adduser --no-create-home --ingroup openpbx --disabled-password --disabled-login openpbx This does NOT seem to be the right format for Centos. So far, using man, I have come up with; adduser -M -g openpbx What else do I need?

Hello, I'm just wondering if someone stumble upon this. We are trying to create a local account but it looks like the adduser script is contacting the AD server for some reason and saying that the user "already exists" when it doesn't locally. Is there a way to disable adduser to contact AD or something similar? Thank you. [root at server01~]# adduser user01 adduser: user

We still have MD5 as our default password hash, even though known-hash attacks against MD5 are relatively easy these days. We've supported SHA256 and SHA512 for many years now, so how about making SHA512 the default instead of MD5, like on most Linux distributions?

Hi, when I use useradd of adduser in CentOS 3 or 4, the default shell a user gets /bin/bash. I want this to be changed to /bin/false for security reasons... How can I accomplish this? Thanks in advance for any help. -- Michiel

Hello List, we like to add a newly generated user account that was created with the domain user tools, to another service on a separated machine, with the same credentials. Is there a simple way to retrieve the password like the username (%u) to hand the (cleartext-) password over to our adduser script? I know this is a hack, but we want to have a soft transformation until our AD service is

Hi List, I have some issues with user manager for domains (srvtools.exe from MS) and the scripts mentioned in the subject. The examples from the samba howto collection seem to cause serious issues here. I am on debian etch and tried to create my own scripts but till now to now avail. With the examples from the docs I could add groups, but could not add users to groups. There was the option -A

Hi there, I''m running into an problem which I can resolve. It is bugging me for couple of days now. Goal: CentOS 6.4 freshly installed incl puppet 3.2.3 and I want to install puppet master, puppetdb, mod_passenger & apache with "puppet apply".

Hello.. I've asked this question before without getting any further help really.. When a new user is added using "adduser" on 5.x (havn't really checked if it's the same under 4.x or not), the default homedir permission is 755 (drwxr-xr-x) which to me, looks a bit insecure? It's of course pretty easy to solve it by a simple chmod, but yet, isn't there anyway to

Hi, I''m running into a problem with the user type with puppet 0.20.1... this worked before with 0.19.x at least, not sure about 0.20. But I''ve got adduser.pp: <snip> define adduser($uid, $gid, $groups="users", $membership="minimum") { group { $name: gid => $gid, allowdupe => false, ensure

Sorry everyone for asking this stupid question. I want add a system account to my debian system. I did it on another machine a couple of months ago and it worked fine with this command (I think).

Hi: We're running Samba on a Unix machine which is a member of the NT domain. This has several interesting ramifications involving UIDs and passwords (I've listed those below). But this is my basic question: Does anyone have any scripts they use across UNIX and NT to create user accounts? I have access to rsh and adduser.pl with the NT Resource Kit, so presumably I could write
