|

155 | means, see the <filename>doc/HOWTO</filename> file within the unpacked

158 | must be Shadow-compliant. That is, they need to be able to work with

169 | <para>Shadow's stock configuration for the <command>useradd</command>
|
---|
170 | utility has a few caveats that need some explanation. First, the default
|
---|
171 | action for the <command>useradd</command> utility is to create the user and
|
---|
172 | a group of the same name as the user. By default the user ID (UID) and
|
---|
173 | group ID (GID) numbers will begin with 1000. This means if you don't pass
|
---|
174 | parameters to <command>useradd</command>, each user will be a member of a
|
---|
175 | unique group on the system. If this behavior is undesirable, you'll need
|
---|
176 | to pass the <parameter>-g</parameter> parameter to
|
---|
177 | <command>useradd</command>. The default parameters are stored in the
|
---|
178 | <filename>/etc/default/useradd</filename> file. You may need to modify two
|
---|
179 | parameters in this file to suit your particular needs.</para>

192 | 1000 on your system the first time you use <command>useradd</command>
|
---|
193 | without the <parameter>-g</parameter> parameter, you'll get a message
