which file defines the user id shell parameters?
hi all
in linux /etc/login.defs is the file which is defining the user id , group id.
/etc/default/useradd is the file which is defining the home directory and shell.

In solaris, which files defines these parameters when i simply give the command "useradd username"

Regards

useradd and usermod are scripts that change /etc/passwd and /etc/shadow and /etc/group

The defintions are in the /etc files: shell is in /etc/passwd.

Also consider to consult the man pages for useradd and usermod, especially the description and files sections.
