Vitalnix : User Management Suite
  manual v1.90.7.1

Descrpition

The Vitalnix architecture document shows that previously, each facility (Shadow, LDAP, Samba, etc.) required its own utilities like login, passwd, useradd, to name a few. Vitalnix itself adds its utilities, but obsoletes all others at the same time.

The utilities provided with Vitalnix try to behave like the ones from the Shadow Password Suite package, to ensure compatibility. Plus, they have some new options, too.

vuseradd - Create a new user

useradd [-c comment] [-d home_dir] [-e expire_date] [-f inactive_days] [-g initial_group] [-G group,[...]] [-m [-k skel_dir]] [-p passwd] [-s shell] [-u uid [-o] [-r]] login

vusermod - Modify a user account

usermod [-c comment] [-d home_dir] [-e expire_date] [-f inactive_days] [-g initial_group] [-G group,[...]] -l login_name] [-p passwd] [-s shell] [-u uid] [-L] [-U] login

vuserdel - Delete a user account and related files

userdel [-r] login

vgroupadd - Create a new group

groupadd [-g gid [-o]|-r] group

vgroupmod - Modify a group

groupmod [-g gid [-o]] [-n group_name] group

vgroupdel - Delete a group

groupdel group

vpasswd - Change a user's password

passwd [-l|-u] username
