NOME¶
newusers - aggiorna e crea nuovi utenti in blocco
SINOSSI¶
newusers [options] [file]
DESCRIZIONE¶
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
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
pw_uid
If the field is empty, a new (unused) UID will be defined automatically by newusers.
Se questo campo contiene un numero, verrà utilizzato come 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.
Se viene cambiato l'UID di un utente esistente, la proprietà dei file di proprietà dell'utente stesso andrà cambiata manualmente.
pw_gid
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.
Se questo campo è numerico, questo numero verrà utilizzato come ID del gruppo primario dell'utente. Se non esiste nessun gruppo con quel GID, ne viene creato uno con il nome dell'utente e il GID specificato.
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
pw_dir
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. Note that newusers does not create parent directories of the new user's home directory. The newusers command will fail to create the home directory if the parent directories do not exist, and will send a message to stderr informing the user of the failure. The newusers command will not halt or return a failure to the calling shell if it fails to create the home directory, it will continue to process the batch of new users specified.
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
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.
Durante il primo passaggio gli utenti vengono creati con la password bloccata (e le password non sono modificate nel caso di utenti che non sono creati). Un secondo passaggio si occupa di aggiornare tutte le password usando PAM. I problemi durante l'aggiornamento delle password sono riportati, ma non interrompono la modifica delle altre password.
Questo comando è appositamente pensato per grossi sistemi nei quali molti account sono aggiornati allo stesso tempo.
OPZIONI¶
The options which apply to the newusers command are:
--badname
-h, --help
-r, --system
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
AVVISI/CAVEAT¶
Il file di input deve essere protetto poiché contiene password non cifrate.
