I work on some hp ux 11.00 Servers. i have to add an user. i use the useradd command like follows: useradd -u 72022 -g 71095 -c " comment " -d /PACKAGE_NAME/home/username -s /usr/bin/sh username

Hi.
due to some needs i gave a user the premission to use useradd command with sudo.
i want to know if there is a way to let him set the initial password, without giving him the premission to use passwd command as root (sudo).
maybe a way to set a default password for all the new users that... (2 Replies)
Hi,
I need to add a new user who will only be able to access one single folder on my Solaris 9 system. Can this be achieved by using just useradd or do i need to fiddle with auth_attr table?
TIA,

The man pages for useradd show the -k flag as a option, problem is I don't know what the description means. Could someone explain what "an alternative skel directory" is?
Is skel an acronym?
Thanks
From the man page:
-k, --skel skeldir
Specify an alternative skel... (1 Reply)
Gurus,
I need to add a user to all the machines. I need a script to do this. I did one but it does not allow me to su to root within a ssh session i open. It exists saying su: Sorry. Please let me know how i can do it. I do not have the freedom of using sudo either.

crypt
CRYPT(3) Library Functions Manual CRYPT(3)NAME
crypt, setkey, encrypt - DES encryption
SYNOPSIS
char *crypt(key, salt)
char *key, *salt;
setkey(key)
char *key;
encrypt(block, edflag)
char *block;
DESCRIPTION
Crypt is the password encryption routine. It is based on the NBS Data Encryption Standard, with variations intended (among other things)
to frustrate use of hardware implementations of the DES for key search.
The first argument to crypt is normally a user's typed password. The second is a 2-character string chosen from the set [a-zA-Z0-9./].
The salt string is used to perturb the DES algorithm in one of 4096 different ways, after which the password is used as the key to encrypt
repeatedly a constant string. The returned value points to the encrypted password, in the same alphabet as the salt. The first two char-
acters are the salt itself.
The other entries provide (rather primitive) access to the actual DES algorithm. The argument of setkey is a character array of length 64
containing only the characters with numerical value 0 and 1. If this string is divided into groups of 8, the low-order bit in each group
is ignored, leading to a 56-bit key which is set into the machine.
The argument to the encrypt entry is likewise a character array of length 64 containing 0's and 1's. The argument array is modified in
place to a similar array representing the bits of the argument after having been subjected to the DES algorithm using the key set by
setkey. The edflag flag is ignored; the argument can only be encrypted.

The return value points to static data whose content is overwritten by each call.
