Re: Modifying passwd file

Here's how I do it on my Sun box

If necessary, reset the persons password
Look in the /etc/shadow file and find the username you are working with
Copy the users encrypted password from /etc/shadow (this will be all characters between the first and second colon)
Go into /opt/cvsroot/CVSROOT and copy the users info into this file (or replace as necessary), in the following format
<username>:<encrypted password copied from /etc/shadow>):<username>
Save and exit

Hi,

I need to add users to a CVS passwd file.


How do I do that? I did it last year but now I don't remember what I
did.

Thanks!
Simon
