Sysadmin/User management

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

Adding a new user on Machine/sunjammer

Ask users to follow diligently the Sysadmin/Shell_account_request procedure.

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.
