  • Adding users
    • As root on yamato, run
      /usr/local/sbin/diradm.superadduser '$username' '$email' '$Fullname'
    • Note that a file named '$username' is created in your current directory with the template filled out for mailing (the same file is displayed onscreen).
  • 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
  • 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.
    • Make the directory.
      mkdir -p $src
    • Set ownership.
      chgrp -R $group $src
    • Set permissions.
      chmod 2771 $src
    • If web content is being served:
      mkdir -p $src/htdocs
    • chmod 2775 $src/htdocs
  • Adding CVS repositories
    • See amadd example above, create the /export/cvs/foobar directory.
    • On Yamato:
    • cvs -d /export/cvs/foobar init
    • chmod -R 2770 /export/cvs/foobar
    • chgrp foobar /export/cvs/foobar
  • Adding SubVersion repositories
    • See amadd example above, create the /export/svn/foobar directory.
    • Now on nelson, run:
      svnadmin create /var/svnroot/foobar --fs-type fsfs
  • 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.
