There are lots of login shells are available, such as /bin/bash, /bin/sh, /bin/chsh etc.īy default, when a useradd command issued without any options, the user will be created with /bin/bash (RHEL) or /bin/sh (Debian / Ubuntu) shell. Login shell defines which shell to be invoked when the user logs in.
#APACHE DIRECTORY STUDIO ADD USER TO GROUP PASSWORD#
Number of days of warning before password expires : 7 Maximum number of days between password change : 99999 Minimum number of days between password change : 0 Output: Last password change : Apr 16, 2019 Verify the user’s expiration date using the chage command. To create a new user user_name with an expiry date set to May 1st, 2019, you can use. The date must be specified in YYYY-MM-DD format. The -e option allows setting the expiry date for the user. By default, when a useradd command issued without any options, the user will be created with account never expire value. This option is useful when you want to create a temporary user who will have access to the system only for a period of time. Output: uid=1001(user_name) gid=1002(user_name) groups=1002(user_name), 100(users),74(sshd) Create a User with an Expiry Date Verify the groups the user belongs to using the id command. GID useradd -G 100,74 user_name Group Name useradd -G users,sshd user_name
The group name or GID must already exist. GID useradd -g 100 user_name Group Name useradd -g users user_name You can either specify the group name or the GID. Use the -g option to create a user with a specific GID. When a useradd command is executed without any options, it creates a group with the same as the username and same GID as UID. Linux group has its own identification number GID. The Linux groups help us to define privileges like read, write or execute to all users within that group for a particular resource. Users are often grouped together with the Linux group. Output: uid=9999(user_name) gid=9999(user_name) groups=9999(user_name) Create a User with Specific Group Verify that the user’s UID is 9999 using the id command. To create a user called user_name with UID of 9999, you need to use. Use the -u option to create a user with a specific UID. By default, whenever the user is created in Linux, the system assigns the next available UID from the range of user IDs between UID_MIN and UID_MAX in the /etc/fs file. In Linux, users are identified by UID (Unique Identification Number). useradd -m -d /opt/user_name user_name Create a User with Specific User ID To create a home directory under /opt for user user_name, use. If you want to create the user’s home in a different location, use the -d along with -m option. When only -m is specified as an option for useradd command, it creates the user’s home directory under /home. bashrc Create a User with Specific Home Directory The above command creates the home directory /home/user_name for user user_name and copies files from /etc/skel directory to the user’s home directory. Use the -m option to ensure the home directory for the user is created while creating a new user. Passwd: all authentication tokens updated ~]# Create a User with Home DirectoryĪs I said earlier, the home directory for a new user may or may not be created when we use the useradd command with no options. You will now be prompted to enter and confirm the password.
Set a password for the newly created account with passwd command to log in to the system with that user. Otherwise, the system would go through an error that the user name already exists. To create a new user called user_name using the useradd command, run.
Whereas in RHEL, the useradd command creates the home directory for a new user. For example, useradd command in Ubuntu does not create the user’s home directory by default if you do not specify options in the command line. The default values in this file may differ depending on the Linux distribution.
