adduser(8)

NAME adduser - create an XSCF user account

SYNOPSIS adduser [-uUID] user

adduser -h

DESCRIPTION adduser(8) creates a new local XSCF user account. This account is used to configure, operate, manage and administrate the XSCF firmware. Initially, this account has no password. It cannot be used for login until either the password is set (using password(8)) or Secure Shell (SSH) public key authentication is set for the user. The new account will be locked but not disabled. The system can support up to 100 local users with an average length of 10 characters for the user operand.

When invoked without the -uoption, adduser automatically assigns a UID for the user account. When invoked with the -uoption adduser assigns the given UID to the user account. Automatic UIDs are assigned starting from 100.

If the Service Processor is configured to use Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) for user account data, the user name and UID (if specified) must not already be in use, either locally or in LDAP.

When a user is created, adduser(8) command stores the current password policy values in a file for the user. For more information on setting password policy see, setpasswordpolicy(8).
