Just courious, i'm using RH 8.0 and it seems whenever i add user, it will
alway create directory in /var/spool/mail also.

seem related to this 'problem'.
maybe its on pam?
TIA

Is there a way by default or any way for that
matter to change the users home dir permissions during adduser or useradd? It
seems to default to 700 i want it to be 755.
Im aware i can do it post adduser/useradd, just
curious if its possible to do it by default, simular to changing the /etc

Is it possible to log in to a new account between the time you add the user
and manually set their password?
For example, I want to verify that I can create a www account, never set a
password on the account, and rest assured knowing nobody can login to the
account.
Thanks =)

If you don't set a password, I do believe that the account will simply
have no password, and anyone will be able to log into it.
If you want the account to have no password, you'll need to go into
/etc/passwd or /etc/shadow (depending on how you installed your system)
and put something like
That's not correct. The account will be created with '!!' in the password
field, and you will not be able to log in to it.

I dunno why I hadn't thought of it before (brainfart), but I created an
account, did not set the password, and tried telneting in using it. It
wouldn't let me in. I checked /etc/shadow and found !! in the area where
the password would normally be decrypted. I guess it's already doing what
I believe after creating an new account nobody can log in with this
account until a password has been set

Change to that user from root:
su - userfoo
and it won't care if there's no password.

Now what? Do I manually make an entry in /etc/passwd? And if so, what
do I use for a passwd since it's encrypted in that file??
I think as root you can do "passwd houze" and change that users password.
Or log on as that user and just run passwd. (I don't know if you can log
on as that user
I tried using "passwd houze" from root and it seemed to work ok since it
prompted me for a new password and verification. Then it came back with
this:
passwd: User not known to the underlying authentication modeule

Hello all,
Is there anyway to make a user log into
a specific directrory with the ./adduser command.
I don't want to have to create a group for each user but
all my new clients going into the web server have a hard
time tunneling up to /home/httpd/domainname
from their /home/username.
TIA
edit the password file with vipw
or if you're using the shell script adduser (in 4.2) then just find the
appropriate line in the script and fix it (I recently did this for our
webserver, and it worked just fine :) )

Why is it that i can't 'adduser majordomo' ?
My system tells me "majordomo is over 8 characters"
Or did I not read enough of the majordomo docs to find out it's some sort
of alias thats needed?
If it is an alias please tell me how to do it, i haven't a clue.
