pw is a command-line driven passwd/group editor utility that provides
|
|
|
|
|
an easy and safe means of modifying of any/all fields in the system
|
|
|
|
|
password files, and has an add, modify and delete mode for user and
|
|
|
|
|
group records. Command line options have been fashioned to be similar
|
|
|
|
|
to those used by the Sun/shadow commands: useradd, usermod, userdel,
|
|
|
|
|
groupadd, groupmod, groupdel, but combines all operations within the
|
|
|
|
|
single command `pw'.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
User add mode also provides a means of easily setting system useradd
|
|
|
|
|
defaults (see pw.conf.5), so that adding a user is as easy as issuing
|
|
|
|
|
the command "pw useradd <loginid>". Creation of a unique primary
|
|
|
|
|
group for each user and automatic memberhip in secondary groups
|
|
|
|
|
is fully supported.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This program may be FreBSD specific, but should be trivial to port to
|
|
|
|
|
other bsd4.4 variants.
