Adding a user with an entry in the local passwd file
If the local passwd file will include an entry
of the form ``+login'' for the new user you want to add,
you can run the
useradd(1M)
command on the client machine
to add the new user
and to update the local
passwd(4)
(and
shadow(4))
file.
Follow this procedure:
-
Log in as the NIS administrator or local administrator on the client machine.
-
Run the useradd command with the -m option
and the argument ``+login''.
For example:
useradd -m +kathy
would add an entry in the passwd file
(and create a home directory) for user kathy.
-
Ensure that the user uses the
yppasswd(1nis)
command to set their NIS password.
