Revision as of 23:19, 8 September 2005
Since I'm leaving soon, here are some docs I need to write before I go.
- Adding users
- As root on yamato, run /usr/local/sbin/diradm.superadduser '$username' '$email' '$Fullname'
- Adding groups
- As root on hood, diradm groupadd
- same syntax as groupadd(8).
- Adding or removing users from a group
- same syntax as gpasswd(8)
- As root on hood, diradm gpasswd (-a|-d) USERNAME GROUP
- Adding projects
- As root on hood: diradm amadd -O $mapbase $key $src
- EG (CVS): diradm amadd -O auto.cvs foobar 209.87.56.240:/export/cvs/foobar
- EG (SVN): diradm amadd -O auto.svn foobar 209.87.56.240:/export/svn/foobar
- '-O' means the default mount options for automount.
- As root on yamato: create the $src directory now, and give it the approriate permissions. chgrp -R it, and chmod 2771 it.
- Adding CVS repositories
- See amadd example above, create the /export/cvs/foobar directory.
- Run: cvs -d /export/cvs/foobar init
- Run: chmod -R 2770 /export/cvs/foobar
- Run: chgrp foobar /export/cvs/foobar
- Adding SubVersion repositories
- See amadd example above, create the /export/cvs/foobar directory.
- That's it
- General user management
- diradm offers almost all regular POSIX commands, sometimes with a few extra frills. The only commands NOT completely implemented are gpasswd and passwd.
- Gentoo update procedures (eg, how to update without ever messing up a machine).
- TODO
- Welcoming new users; email template or typical wording you've used
- This is in the diradm.superadduser script, as it fills out the template.
To: $FULLNAME <$EMAIL> Subject: Research account created - $NEWUSER Hello $FULLNAME, Your research account has been created. Username: $NEWUSER Password: $NEWPASS Please visit http://research.iat.sfu.ca/network/changepassword.php to change your password when you receive this email. For support with the research network, please email: help@research.iat.sfu.ca And include a good description of the entire problem and a suitable subject line. Please note that this username/password pair is only valid for the SFU Surrey Research Network, and is NOT tied into the main SFU authentication systems.
