uxdstools 0.5.3 (Default branch)
uxdstools is a set of Unix directory service tools. It is a suite of command tools to administer POSIX user and group accounts in an LDAP directory. It is similar in spirit to the useradd/mod/del tools found on Linux and Solaris, the pw tools on BSD, the mk|ch|rmuser/group tools on AIX, etc. However, instead of manipulating local accounts, uxdstools manages POSIX-type accounts that can be found in LDAP directory services installations, namely those with posixAccount and posixGroup attributes. License: GNU General Public License (GPL) Changes:
This release adds logic in configure to detect whether the machine type is i[3456]86 or x86_64. The last release mistakenly did not take that into account to silence the compiler warnings resulting from the format used for strlen calls.Image

usermgmt.conf

USERMGMT.CONF(5)					      BSD File Formats Manual						  USERMGMT.CONF(5)

NAME

     usermgmt.conf -- user management tools configuration file

SYNOPSIS

     usermgmt.conf

DESCRIPTION

     The usermgmt.conf file defines the default values used by the user management tools, useradd(8) and friends.

     Options in this file can be set by manually editing /etc/usermgmt.conf or using the -D option to useradd(8).

     base_dir	sets the base directory name, in which new users' home directories are created when using the -m option to useradd(8).

     class	sets the default login class for new users.  See login.conf(5) for more information on user login classes.

     expire	sets the default time at which the current password expires.  This can be used to implement password aging.  Both the expire and
		inactive fields should be entered in the form ``month day year'', where month is the month name (the first three characters are
		sufficient), day is the day of the month, and year is the year.  Time in seconds since the epoch (UTC) is also valid.  A value of
		0 can be used to disable this feature.

     group	sets the default primary group for new users.  If this is '=uid', then a uid and gid will be picked which are both unique and the
		same, and a line will be added to /etc/group to describe the new group.  It has the format:
		      group gid | name | =uid

     homeperm	sets the default permissions of the newly created home directory if -m is given to useradd(8).	The permission is specified as an
		octal number, with or without a leading zero.

     inactive	sets the default time at which new accounts expire.  A value of 0 can be used to disable this feature.	Also see the expire field.

     password	specifies an already-encrypted default password.

     preserve	If this value is one of 'true', 'yes', or a non-zero number, then the user login information will be preserved when removing a
		user with userdel(8).

     range	specifies the uid boundaries for new users.  If unspecified, the default is ``1000..60000''.  It has the format:
		      range starting-uid..ending-uid

     gid_range	specifies the gid boundaries for new groups.  If unspecified, the default is ``1000..60000''.  It has the format:
		      gid_range starting-gid..ending-gid

     shell	sets the default login shell for new users.

     skel_dir	sets the default skeleton directory in which to find files with which to populate the new user's home directory.
