NAME
adduser - create an XSCF user account
SYNOPSIS
adduser
[-u UID] user
adduser -h
DESCRIPTION
adduser
(8) creates a new local XSCF user account. This account is used to
configure, operate, manage and administer 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 -u option, adduser automatically assigns a UID for the
user account. When invoked with the -u option 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).
