Adding Users under FC

From MyWiki

Jump to: navigation, search

Run:

/usr/sbin/adduser -m username
  • -m: Adds home directory for the user (this may be the default?)

Then, to unlock the account, assuming you have Kerberos set up, edit /etc/shadow and change the password to "!!".

If you don't have Kerberos configued, you'll need to run:

/usr/bin/passwd username

To remove the local password, thus allowing *only* kerberos as the method of authentication for this user, see:
