How to add new users

SAN FRANCISCO:

ssh nis
su -

For new users: In the root directory there is a script called create-user.sh which looks like this:

#!/bin/sh
USER=$1
NAME=$2
/usr/sbin/useradd --comment "$NAME" \
                 --gid games \
                 --home /raid1/people/$USER -M \
                 --shell /bin/tcsh \
                 $USER

Run this script like this

./create-user.sh “Username” “First_name Last_name (purpose (ie Rotation Student, Novartis, etc))    

So say you have a person Jane Doe who is a student from USF:

./create-user.sh “jdoe” “Jane Doe (USF Graduate Student)”

Then type passwd username to make a temporary password for them.

make -C /var/yp
ssh nfshead4
su -
mkdir /raid1/people/username
chown username:games /raid1/people/username
exit

To add users to cluster 2

First make sure your ip address is in: beta: /etc/httpd/conf.d/phpldapadmin.conf

go to: https://beta.compbio.ucsf.edu/ldapadmin/index.php?server_id=1&refresh=SID_1&redirect=true

If there’s a caching problem: sudo sss_cache -UGN
