| 6 | usermod.cmd is the new universal user manipulation script for the Samba
|
|---|
| 7 | Server for eCS(OS/2). It integrates the functionality found in its
|
|---|
| 8 | predecessors useradd.cmd, userdel.cmd and userren.cmd in one universal
|
|---|
| 9 | script.
|
|---|
| 10 |
|
|---|
| 11 | The enclosed useradd.cmd, userdel.cmd and userren.cmd are just forwarder
|
|---|
| 12 | scripts and just call usermod.cmd with appropriate parameters in order
|
|---|
| 13 | to use the new usermod.cmd in situations were it is impossible to update
|
|---|
| 14 | smb.conf.
|
|---|
| 15 |
|
|---|
| 16 | UserMod has 5 modes of operation:
|
|---|
| 17 |
|
|---|
| 18 | Add a new kLIBC user: usermod -a "username"
|
|---|
| 19 | Add a machine account: usermod -a "machinename$"
|
|---|
| 20 | Remove a kLIBC user: usermod -x "username"
|
|---|
| 21 | Rename a kLIBC user: usermod -r "oldusername" "newusername"
|
|---|
| 22 | Display help: usermod /?
|
|---|
| 23 | Display help: usermod -?
|
|---|
| 24 | Display help: usermod -H
|
|---|
| 25 |
|
|---|
| 26 | Running usermod without a paramter just rewrites the kLIBC password database.
|
|---|
| 27 |
|
|---|
| 28 | Unlike its predecessors, usermod.cmd not only adds/removes/renames users in
|
|---|
| 29 | master.passwd, but also takes care of the group file. In addition usermod.cmd
|
|---|
| 30 | acts more intelligently, when dealing with GID allocation, as it knows suitable
|
|---|
| 31 | GIDs for the well-known group IDs (root: 512, users: 513, machines: 515).
|
|---|
| 32 |
|
|---|
| 33 | usermod.cmd inherited a lot of code from smbusers.exe, which should make it
|
|---|
| 34 | more robust and less picky.
