Installing VolServ

Step 3. Use an editor, such as vi, to view the /etc/passwd file. If this file already contains a vsadm entry, no further action is necessary. Otherwise, the user must add a vsadm user definition to the file. This file must contain a line entry for each user recognized by the system. The format of each entry is:

username:password:uid:gid:information:login_directory:login_shell

where:

Option	Description
username	The name of the user.
password	The encrypted user password or * if
	no password is used.
uid	The user’s unique numerical
	identifier within the system.
gid	The group’s numerical ID within the
	system; it must be unique and must
	match the gid entered in the
	/etc/group file earlier.
login_directory	The directory at which the user will
	be positioned when login is
	successful.
login_shell	The shell under which the user logs
	in.

The added line looks like the following example. It should be placed in the file so that its uid is in numerical order with the other entries.

vsadm:x:111:11:-VSAdmin:/volserv/volserv:/bin/csh
