.Nd procedure for adding new users
|
||||
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
||||
A new user must choose a login name, which must not already appear in
|
||||
.Pa /etc/passwd
|
||||
or
|
||||
.Pa /etc/aliases .
|
||||
It must also not begin with the hyphen
|
||||
.Ql Fl
|
||||
character.
|
||||
It is strongly recommended that it be all lower-case, and not contain
|
||||
the dot
|
||||
.Ql \&.
|
||||
character, as that tends to confuse mailers.
|
||||
An account can be added by editing a line into the passwd file; this
|
||||
must be done with the password file locked e.g. by using
|
||||
.Xr chpass 1
|
||||
or
|
||||
.Xr vipw 8 .
|
||||
.Pp
|
||||
A new user is given a group and user id.
|
||||
Login and user id's should be unique across the system, and often across
|
||||
a group of systems, since they are used to control file access.
|
||||
Typically, users working on similar projects will be put in the same groups.
|
||||
At the University of California, Berkeley, we have groups for system staff,
|
||||
faculty, graduate students, and special groups for large projects.
|
||||
.Pp
|
||||
A skeletal account for a new user
|
||||
\*(lqernie\*(rq
|
||||
might look like:
|
||||
.Bd -literal
|
||||
ernie::25:30::0:0:Ernie Kovacs,508 Evans Hall,x7925,
|
||||
642-8202:/a/users/ernie:/bin/csh
|
||||
.Ed
|
||||
.Pp
|
||||
For a description of each of these fields, see
|
||||
.Xr passwd 5 .
|
||||
.Pp
|
||||
It is useful to give new users some help in getting started, supplying
|
||||
them with a few skeletal files such as
|
||||
.Pa \&.profile
|
||||
if they use
|
||||
.Pa /bin/sh ,
|
||||
or
|
||||
.Pa \&.cshrc
|
||||
and
|
||||
.Pa \&.login
|
||||
if they use
|
||||
.Pa /bin/csh .
|
||||
The directory
|
||||
.Pa /usr/share/skel
|
||||
contains skeletal definitions of such files.
|
||||
New users should be given copies of these files which, for instance,
|
||||
use
|
||||
.Xr tset 1
|
||||
automatically at each login.
