AddIt is a +perl script that is intended to make adding a user to the system simple +and easy. Installation and use are very easy and directions follow. + +1. Un-tar the distribution on your system. It must have its own directory + due to other files it uses. +2. Use vi to edit the userids file if your planning on using the auto id + option of the system. Make the userid one lower than what you want + to start at. +3. Edit AddIt itself to configure the following options for use with the + system. + + A. $defgroupid: This is the default group id the system will use. + B. $defusrdir: This is the default place for the system to create + user directories and copy needed files. + C. $usequota: Define this variable if you wish to use quotas on your + system. Make sure that you have a kernel that has this defined. + D. $usemail: Define this variable if you wish to have a flyer + mailed to the user after account creation. + E. $usedefshell: Define this to be the default shell on your system. + F. $useforward: Define this variable if you wish to have .forward + files created for use on the system. + G. $protouser: Define this variable to be the proto user for use with + quotas. + H. $mailfile: This is the file to mail to a new user when $usemail is + defined. + +5. Make sure that the default user directory ($defusrdir) exists. +6. Run AddIt. The program will ask you questions about the user and + automaticly create their directory, copy startup files and then + do other things depending on how you have the system configured. + + +As normal sugestions and bug reports to bugs@radon.gbdata.com. + + |
