.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
.Nm Adduser
|
|
is a simple program for adding new users. Adduser check
|
|
passwd, group and shell database. It create passwd/group entry,
|
|
HOME-directory, dotfiles and send new user a welcome message.
|
|

.Sh UNIQ GROUP
|
|
Perhaps your missing what *can* be done with this scheme that falls apart
|
|
with most other schemes. With each user in his/her own group the user can
|
|
safely run with a umask of 002 and have files created in there home directory
|
|
and not worry about others being able to read them.
|
|
|
|
For a shared area you create a seperate uid/gid (like cvs or ncvs on freefall),
|
|
you place each person that should be able to access this area into that new
|
|
group.
|
|
|
|
This model of uid/gid administration allows far greater flexibilty that lumping
|
|
users into groups and having to muck with the umask when working in a shared
|
|
area.
|
|
|
|
I have been using this model for almost 10 years and found that it works
|
|
for most situations, and has never gotten in the way. (Rod Grimes)
