|
|---|
| 159 | means, see the <filename>doc/HOWTO</filename> file within the unpacked
|
|---|
| 160 | source tree. If you use Shadow support, keep in mind that programs which need

| 161 | to verify passwords (display managers, FTP programs, pop3 daemons, etc.)
|
|---|
| 162 | must be Shadow-compliant. That is, they must be able to work with
|
|---|
| 163 | shadowed passwords.</para>
|
|---|
| 164 |
|
|---|
| 165 | <para>To enable shadowed passwords, run the following command:</para>

| 172 |
|
|---|
| 173 | <para>Shadow's default configuration for the <command>useradd</command>
|
|---|
| 174 | utility needs some explanation. First, the default
|
|---|
| 175 | action for the <command>useradd</command> utility is to create the user and
|
|---|
| 176 | a group with the same name as the user. By default the user ID (UID) and
|
|---|
| 177 | group ID (GID) numbers will begin at 1000. This means if you don't pass
|
|---|
| 178 | extra parameters to <command>useradd</command>, each user will be a member of a
|
|---|
| 179 | unique group on the system. If this behavior is undesirable, you'll need
|
|---|
| 180 | to pass either the <parameter>-g</parameter> or <parameter>-N</parameter>
|
|---|
| 181 | parameter to <command>useradd</command>, or else change the setting of
|
|---|
| 182 | <parameter>USERGROUPS_ENAB</parameter> in
|
|---|
| 183 | <filename>/etc/login.defs</filename>. See <filename>useradd(8)</filename>
|
|---|
| 184 | for more information.</para>
|
|---|
| 185 |
|
|---|
| 186 | <para>Second, to change the default parameters, the file
|
|---|
| 187 | <filename>/etc/default/useradd</filename> must be created and tailored
|
|---|
| 188 | to suit your particular needs. Create it with:</para>

| 208 | <command>useradd</command> without the <parameter>-g</parameter>
