SYNC-ACCOUNTS-CREATEUSER(8)					 chiark utilities				       SYNC-ACCOUNTS-CREATEUSER(8)

NAME
sync-accounts-createuser - helper/hook program for sync-accounts SYNOPSIS
SYNCUSER_CREATE_var=value... sync-accounts-createuser DESCRIPTION
sync-accounts-createuser is invoked by sync-accounts when sync-accounts is creating a local account. It must perform all of the tasks involved with local account creation except for the actual changes to the password, shadow and group data- bases. At the very minimum, it must create the new account's home directory (with appropriate permissions). The supplied sync-accounts-createuser script does exactly that. It may also suggest to sync-accounts modifications to the new account's passwd entry. INVOCATION
When sync-accounts-createuser is invoked, the passwd and group entries will not yet have been set up, so it may not rely on them. sync- accounts-createuser will not be supplied with any arguments. However, the following environment variables will be set, giving details about the account to be created: SYNCUSER_CREATE_USER SYNCUSER_CREATE_UID SYNCUSER_CREATE_GID SYNCUSER_CREATE_COMMENT SYNCUSER_CREATE_HOME SYNCUSER_CREATE_SHELL RESULTS
sync-accounts-createuser should usually produce no output. It can inhibit the creation of the user by outputting a single line not containing a colon; in this case, a diagnostic message will be written to sync-accounts's logfile, and the user will be skipped. Alternatively, it may write out an alternative password file entry, in which case sync-accounts will use the supplied data for the local passwd file instead of that from the remote host. The line should be in Sys-V passwd file format (regardless of localformat or remotefor- mat settings). The username field should be taken from SYNCUSER_CREATE_USER, and the password field should be x. EXIT STATUS
0 All went well, or we wrote a line without a colon to say that the account should not be created. any other There were serious problems and sync-accounts should bomb out immediately. FILES
None. ENVIRONMENT
See above. BUGS
The supplied sync-accounts-createuser does not check that it was not supplied with any arguments; nor does it check that the SYNCUSER_CRE- ATE_* variables are set, or have sensible values. AUTHOR
