How to Add a User to Hurricane

 

There are two main steps: 1.) Username and password for hurricane; and 2.) Username and password for Samba network.

 

1.) Username and password for hurricane

 

• ssh to hurricane as root

 

# ssh -2 -l root hurricane.la.asu.edu

 

• adduser command

 

# adduser

 

Use option ``-silent'' if you don't want to see all warnings and questions.

 

Check /etc/shells

Check /etc/master.passwd

Check /etc/group

Enter your default shell: csh date no sh tcsh [csh]:

 

• accept default values for all options

 

Enter your default shell: csh date no sh tcsh [csh]:

Your default shell is: csh -> /bin/csh

Enter your default HOME partition: [/home]:

Copy dotfiles from: /usr/share/skel no [no]:

Do not copy dotfiles.

Send message from file: /etc/adduser.message no [no]:

Do not send message

Use passwords (y/n) [y]:

 

• enter username, full name, and accept additional defaults (EXCEPT UID), and select password (ramon used as an example)

 

Ok, let's go.

Don't worry about mistakes. I will give you the chance later to correct any input.

Enter full name []: J Ramon Arrowsmith

Enter shell csh date no sh tcsh [csh]:

Enter home directory (full path) [/home/ramon]:

Enter login class: default []:

Login group ramon [ramon]:

•confirm all information and quit adduser

Class:

Groups:   ramon

OK? (y/n) [y]:

Added user "ramon"

Add another user? (y/n) [y]: n

Goodbye!

 

2.) Username and password for Samba network

 

Note: Samba password should eventually be the same as for the PC used to connect to Hurricane.

 

• add Samba user and password

 

hurricane# /usr/local/samba/bin/smbpasswd -a ramon changeme1

Added user ramon.

 

3. Inform user of username and temporary passwords to be changed

 

• change Hurricane password by logging in and typing passwd at the prompt

 

• change Samba password by logging into Hurricane and typing /usr/local/samba/bin/smbpasswd at the prompt
