|
|---|
| 112 | means, see the <filename>doc/HOWTO</filename> file within the unpacked
|
|---|
| 113 | source tree. If using Shadow support, keep in mind that programs which need
|
|---|
| 114 | to verify passwords (display managers, FTP programs, pop3 daemons, etc.)
|
|---|
| 115 | must be Shadow-compliant. That is, they need to be able to work with
|
|---|
| 116 | shadowed passwords.</para>
|
|---|
| 117 |
|
|---|
| 118 | <para>To enable shadowed passwords, run the following command:</para>

|

| 126 | <para>Shadow's stock configuration for the <command>useradd</command>
|
|---|
| 127 | utility has a few caveats that need some explanation. First, the default
|
|---|
| 128 | action for the <command>useradd</command> utility is to create the user and
|
|---|
| 129 | a group of the same name as the user. By default the user ID (UID) and
|
|---|
| 130 | group ID (GID) numbers will begin with 1000. This means if you don't pass
|
|---|
| 131 | parameters to <command>useradd</command>, each user will be a member of a
|
|---|
| 132 | unique group on the system. If this behaviour is undesirable, you'll need
|
|---|
| 133 | to pass the <parameter>-g</parameter> parameter to
|
|---|
| 134 | <command>useradd</command>. The default parameters are stored in the
|
|---|
| 135 | <filename>/etc/default/useradd</filename> file. You may need to modify two
|
|---|
| 136 | parameters in this file to suit your particular needs.</para>

| 147 | number identified in this parameter is used, it will use the next
|
|---|
| 148 | available number after this. Note also that if you don't have a group
|
|---|
| 149 | 1000 on your system the first time you use <command>useradd</command>
|
|---|
| 150 | without the <parameter>-g</parameter> parameter, you'll get a message
|
