User and Group Management
|
|
=========================
|
|
|
|
User accounts and group membership are stored under `etc/users/` and `etc/groups/` respectively.
|
|
|
|
A user account consists of a directory under `etc/users/` that contains files with that users account information, the only required file is `password` containing a password for the user. For example:
|
|
|
|
% ls etc/users/
|
|
eekee uriel yosyp
|
|
% cat etc/users/uriel/password
|
|
mypass
|
|
|
|
Groups consists of files named after the group name stored in `etc/groups/`, containing the names of the group members, one per line.
|
|
|
|
The group 'admin' is 'built-in' and any members in that group will have admin privileges for most werc apps by default.
|
|
|
|
Example
|
|
-------
|
|
|
|
To create a user called [glenda](http://glenda.cat-v.org) that is a member of the group `rabbits` you can do:
|
|
|
|
% mkdir etc/users/glenda/
|
|
% echo passw > etc/user/glenda/password
|
|
% echo glenda >> etc/users/rabbits
|
|
|
|
Utils
|
|
-----
|
|
|
|
The script at bin/aux/addwuser.rc allows you to even more trivially add users.
|
|
|
|
addwuser.rc user_name user_pass [groups ...]
