Created page based on "HOW TO ADD NEW USERS" page from lab manual

New page

=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
