Sysadmin/User management

To carry on these procedures, you need root access on Machine/sunjammer.

Adding a new user on Machine/sunjammer

Ask users for the following information:

• Desired username
• First and last name
• Forwaring email address (i.e.: where they want email for USER@sugarlabs.org) to be sent to
• SSH key
• Optionally, a gpg key

The user creation procedure is fully automated with a script:

• As root, use system-useradd
• See synopsis
• Follow prompts and instructions

A welcome message will be sent to the user automatically.

Editing users and groups

• Run "ldapvi"
• Edit with your favourite $EDITOR, save and exit
• Type "y" to accept changes.
