User creation

UNIX Solaris
1

Hi all,

I want to create one user with full permissions to one directory called /opt/tivoli/tsm/client/ba/bin.

Name for the user Tivoli

Thanks & Regards
Babu

look at the man pages for "useradd" when creating users.

For the permissions side, chmod or setfacl should help.

hi

This is the syntax for user creation

useradd -u -g -d /opt/tivoli/tsm/client/ba/bin/Tivoli -m -c "super user"
-s /bin/bash/Tivoli

hope it would be helpfull for you

Thanks & Regards
Prakash

not without the username :wink:

useradd -u -g -d /opt/tivoli/tsm/client/ba/bin/Tivoli -m -c "super user"
-s /bin/bash/Tivoli Tivoli

Better not to use a confusing gcos, to set a proper home directory and an existing shell :wink:

useradd -u -g -d /home/Tivoli -m -c "Tivoli user" 
-s /bin/bash Tivoli

my turn...

/home is a autofs directory in solaris! so better use /export/home/Tivoli :wink:

Indeed, -m option would have failed in case auto_home mapping is still enabled.

A little one more, user and group ids were missing:

useradd -u uid -g gid -d /home/Tivoli -m -c "Tivoli user" -s /bin/bash Tivoli

Frankly, I prefer the good old "vi /etc/passwd; pwconv; passwd username" ...
