|
---|
147 | means, see the <filename>doc/HOWTO</filename> file within the unpacked
|
---|
148 | source tree. If using Shadow support, keep in mind that programs which need
|
---|
149 | to verify passwords (display managers, FTP programs, pop3 daemons, etc.)
|
---|
150 | must be Shadow-compliant. That is, they need to be able to work with

151 | shadowed passwords.</para>

152 |

153 | <para>To enable shadowed passwords, run the following command:</para>

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

181 | that <command>useradd</command> will never reuse a UID or GID. If the

182 | number identified in this parameter is used, it will use the next
|
---|
183 | available number after this. Note also that if you don't have a group
|
---|
184 | 1000 on your system the first time you use <command>useradd</command>
|
---|
185 | without the <parameter>-g</parameter> parameter, you'll get a message
|
---|
186 | displayed on the terminal that says:
|
---|
187 | <computeroutput>useradd: unknown GID 1000</computeroutput>. You may
|
