.Os
|
|
.Sh NAME
|
|
.Nm adduser.conf
|
|
.Nd
|
|
.Xr adduser 8
|
|
configuration file
|
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.Pa /etc/adduser.conf
|
|
file is automatically generated by the
|
|
.Xr adduser 8
|
|
utility when invoked with the
|
|
.Fl C
|
|
command-line option.
|
|
It is not meant to be edited by hand.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Pa /etc/adduser.conf
|
|
file is used to pre-set certain configuration options for
|
|
the
|
|
.Xr adduser 8
|
|
utility.
|
|
When
|
|
.Xr adduser 8
|
|
is invoked, it will check to see if this file exists, and
|
|
if so, the configuration will be used or offered as the
|
|
default settings.
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
file offers three types of configuration:
|
|
.Bl -bullet
|
|
.It
|
|
Default settings offered by
|
|
.Xr adduser 8 .
|
|
These options are specified in the configuration file and offered
|
|
as the default during every invocation of the
|
|
.Xr adduser 8
|
|
utility.
|
|
.It
|
|
Configuration options which can be set in
|
|
.Nm ,
|
|
but overridden by passing a flag to
|
|
.Xr adduser 8 .
|
|
.It
|
|
Configuration supported by
|
|
.Xr adduser 8
|
|
but not offered by a flag or during initial invocation.
|
|
.El
|
|
.Pp
|
|
In the first case, these options can be set in
|
|
.Nm
|
|
but will still be offered when
|
|
.Xr adduser 8
|
|
is invoked.
|
|
In the second case,
|
|
.Xr adduser 8
|
|
will read the configuration data unless a flag
|
|
has been passed to override it.
|
|
For example, the
|
|
.Va defaultshell
|
|
option.
|
|
In the third case, the configuration will be utilized, but the
|
|
user will never be prompted to modify the default setting by
|
|
either a flag or an
|
|
.Xr adduser 8
|
|
prompt.
|
|
For example, the
|
|
.Va upwexpire
|
|
setting.
|
|
.Pp
|
|

|
|
.Nm :
