NEWUSERS(8) System Management Commands NEWUSERS(8)NAME
newusers - update and create new users in batch
SYNOPSIS
newusers [options] [file]
DESCRIPTION
The newusers command reads a file (or the standard input by default) and uses this information to update a set of existing users or to
create new users. Each line is in the same format as the standard password file (see passwd(5)) with the exceptions explained below:
pw_name:pw_passwd:pw_uid:pw_gid:pw_gecos:pw_dir:pw_shell
pw_name
This is the name of the user.
It can be the name of a new user or the name of an existing user (or a user created before by newusers). In case of an existing user,
the user's information will be changed, otherwise a new user will be created.
pw_passwd
This field will be encrypted and used as the new value of the encrypted password.
pw_uid
This field is used to define the UID of the user.
If the field is empty, a new (unused) UID will be defined automatically by newusers.
If this field contains a number, this number will be used as the UID.
If this field contains the name of an existing user (or the name of a user created before by newusers), the UID of the specified user
will be used.
If the UID of an existing user is changed, the files ownership of the user's file should be fixed manually.
pw_gid
This field is used to define the primary group ID for the user.
If this field contains the name of an existing group (or a group created before by newusers), the GID of this group will be used as the
primary group ID for the user.
If this field is a number, this number will be used as the primary group ID of the user. If no groups exist with this GID, a new group
will be created with this GID, and the name of the user.
If this field is empty, a new group will be created with the name of the user and a GID will be automatically defined by newusers to be
used as the primary group ID for the user and as the GID for the new group.
If this field contains the name of a group which does not exist (and was not created before by newusers), a new group will be created
with the specified name and a GID will be automatically defined by newusers to be used as the primary group ID for the user and GID for
the new group.
pw_gecos
This field is copied in the GECOS field of the user.
pw_dir
This field is used to define the home directory of the user.
If this field does not specify an existing directory, the specified directory is created, with ownership set to the user being created
or updated and its primary group.
If the home directory of an existing user is changed, newusers does not move or copy the content of the old directory to the new
location. This should be done manually.
pw_shell
This field defines the shell of the user. No checks are performed on this field.
newusers first tries to create or change all the specified users, and then write these changes to the user or group databases. If an error
occurs (except in the final writes to the databases), no changes are committed to the databases.
During this first pass, users are created with a locked password (and passwords are not changed for the users which are not created). A
second pass is used to update the passwords using PAM. Failures to update a password are reported, but will not stop the other password
updates.
This command is intended to be used in a large system environment where many accounts are updated at a single time.
OPTIONS
The options which apply to the newusers command are:
-h, --help
Display help message and exit.
-r, --system
Create a system account.
System users will be created with no aging information in /etc/shadow, and their numeric identifiers are chosen in the
SYS_UID_MIN-SYS_UID_MAX range, defined in login.defs, instead of UID_MIN-UID_MAX (and their GID counterparts for the creation of
groups).
-R, --root CHROOT_DIR
Apply changes in the CHROOT_DIR directory and use the configuration files from the CHROOT_DIR directory.
CAVEATS
The input file must be protected since it contains unencrypted passwords.
CONFIGURATION
The following configuration variables in /etc/login.defs change the behavior of this tool:
GID_MAX (number), GID_MIN (number)
Range of group IDs used for the creation of regular groups by useradd, groupadd, or newusers.
The default value for GID_MIN (resp. GID_MAX) is 1000 (resp. 60000).
MAX_MEMBERS_PER_GROUP (number)
Maximum members per group entry. When the maximum is reached, a new group entry (line) is started in /etc/group (with the same name,
same password, and same GID).
The default value is 0, meaning that there are no limits in the number of members in a group.
This feature (split group) permits to limit the length of lines in the group file. This is useful to make sure that lines for NIS
groups are not larger than 1024 characters.
If you need to enforce such limit, you can use 25.
Note: split groups may not be supported by all tools (even in the Shadow toolsuite). You should not use this variable unless you really
need it.
PASS_MAX_DAYS (number)
The maximum number of days a password may be used. If the password is older than this, a password change will be forced. If not
specified, -1 will be assumed (which disables the restriction).
PASS_MIN_DAYS (number)
The minimum number of days allowed between password changes. Any password changes attempted sooner than this will be rejected. If not
specified, -1 will be assumed (which disables the restriction).
PASS_WARN_AGE (number)
The number of days warning given before a password expires. A zero means warning is given only upon the day of expiration, a negative
value means no warning is given. If not specified, no warning will be provided.
SUB_GID_MIN (number), SUB_GID_MAX (number), SUB_GID_COUNT (number)
If /etc/subuid exists, the commands useradd and newusers (unless the user already have subordinate group IDs) allocate SUB_GID_COUNT
unused group IDs from the range SUB_GID_MIN to SUB_GID_MAX for each new user.
The default values for SUB_GID_MIN, SUB_GID_MAX, SUB_GID_COUNT are respectively 100000, 600100000 and 10000.
SUB_UID_MIN (number), SUB_UID_MAX (number), SUB_UID_COUNT (number)
If /etc/subuid exists, the commands useradd and newusers (unless the user already have subordinate user IDs) allocate SUB_UID_COUNT
unused user IDs from the range SUB_UID_MIN to SUB_UID_MAX for each new user.
The default values for SUB_UID_MIN, SUB_UID_MAX, SUB_UID_COUNT are respectively 100000, 600100000 and 10000.
SYS_GID_MAX (number), SYS_GID_MIN (number)
Range of group IDs used for the creation of system groups by useradd, groupadd, or newusers.
The default value for SYS_GID_MIN (resp. SYS_GID_MAX) is 101 (resp. GID_MIN-1).
SYS_UID_MAX (number), SYS_UID_MIN (number)
Range of user IDs used for the creation of system users by useradd or newusers.
The default value for SYS_UID_MIN (resp. SYS_UID_MAX) is 101 (resp. UID_MIN-1).
UID_MAX (number), UID_MIN (number)
Range of user IDs used for the creation of regular users by useradd or newusers.
The default value for UID_MIN (resp. UID_MAX) is 1000 (resp. 60000).
UMASK (number)
The file mode creation mask is initialized to this value. If not specified, the mask will be initialized to 022.
useradd and newusers use this mask to set the mode of the home directory they create
It is also used by pam_umask as the default umask value.
