From 50568f27d680f3a286fdcfaebb5e4f361c4c7e8b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Marcel Moolenaar Date: Wed, 10 Mar 2010 02:16:04 +0000 Subject: Create the altix project branch. The altix project will add support for the SGI Altix 350 to FreeBSD/ia64. The hardware used for porting is a two-module system, consisting of a base compute module and a CPU expansion module. SGI's NUMAFlex architecture can be an excellent platform to test CPU affinity and NUMA-aware features in FreeBSD. --- pw/pw.conf.5 | 318 ----------------------------------------------------------- 1 file changed, 318 deletions(-) delete mode 100644 pw/pw.conf.5 (limited to 'pw/pw.conf.5') diff --git a/pw/pw.conf.5 b/pw/pw.conf.5 deleted file mode 100644 index 3f023aa..0000000 --- a/pw/pw.conf.5 +++ /dev/null @@ -1,318 +0,0 @@ -.\" Copyright (C) 1996 -.\" David L.

-.Nm pw.conf -.Nd format of the pw.conf configuration file -.Sh DESCRIPTION -The file -.In /etc/pw.conf -contains configuration data for the -.Xr pw 8 -utility. -The -.Xr pw 8 -utility is used for maintenance of the system password and group -files, allowing users and groups to be added, deleted and changed. -This file may be modified via the -.Xr pw 8 -command using the -.Ar useradd -command and the -.Fl D -option, or by editing it directly with a text editor. -.Pp -Each line in -.Pa /etc/pw.conf -is treated either a comment or as configuration data; -blank lines and lines commencing with a -.Ql \&# -character are considered comments, and any remaining lines are -examined for a leading keyword, followed by corresponding data. -.Pp -Keywords recognized by -.Xr pw 8 -are: -.Bl -tag -width password_days -offset indent -compact -.It defaultpasswd -affect passwords generated for new users -.It reuseuids -reuse gaps in uid sequences -.It reusegids -reuse gaps in gid sequences -.It nispasswd -path to the -.Tn NIS -passwd database -.It skeleton -where to obtain default home contents -.It newmail -mail to send to new users -.It logfile -log user/group modifications to this file -.It home -root directory for home directories -.It homemode -permissions for home directory -.It shellpath -paths in which to locate shell programs -.It shells -list of valid shells (without path) -.It defaultshell -default shell (without path) -.It defaultgroup -default group -.It extragroups -add new users to this groups -.It defaultclass -place new users in this login class -.It minuid -.It maxuid -range of valid default user ids -.It mingid -.It maxgid -range of valid default group ids -.It expire_days -days after which account expires -.It password_days -days after which password expires -.El -.Pp -Valid values for -.Ar defaultpasswd -are: -.Bl -tag -width password_days -offset indent -compact -.It no -disable login on newly created accounts -.It yes -force the password to be the account name -.It none -force a blank password -.It random -generate a random password -.El -.Pp -The second and third options are insecure and should be avoided if -possible on a publicly accessible system. -The first option requires that the superuser run -.Xr passwd 1 -to set a password before the account may be used. -This may also be useful for creating administrative accounts. -The final option causes -.Xr pw 8 -to respond by printing a randomly generated password on stdout. -This is the preferred and most secure option. -The -.Xr pw 8 -utility also provides a method of setting a specific password for the new -user via a filehandle (command lines are not secure). -.Pp -Both -.Ar reuseuids -and -.Ar reusegids -determine the method by which new user and group id numbers are -generated. -A -.Ql \&yes -in this field will cause -.Xr pw 8 -to search for the first unused user or group id within the allowed -range, whereas a -.Ql \&no -will ensure that no other existing user or group id within the range -is numerically lower than the new one generated, and therefore avoids -reusing gaps in the user or group id sequence that are caused by -previous user or group deletions. -Note that if the default group is not specified using the -.Ar defaultgroup -keyword, -.Xr pw 8 -will create a new group for the user and attempt to keep the new -user's uid and gid the same. -If the new user's uid is currently in use as a group id, then the next -available group id is chosen instead. -.Pp -On -.Tn NIS -servers which maintain a separate passwd database to -.Pa /etc/master.passwd , -this option allows the additional file to be concurrently updated -as user records are added, modified or removed. -If blank or set to 'no', no additional database is updated. -An absolute pathname must be used. -.Pp -The -.Ar skeleton -keyword nominates a directory from which the contents of a user's -new home directory is constructed. -This is -.Pa /usr/share/skel -by default. -The -.Xr pw 8 Ns 's -.Fl m -option causes the user's home directory to be created and populated -using the files contained in the -.Ar skeleton -directory. -.Pp -To send an initial email to new users, the -.Ar newmail -keyword may be used to specify a path name to a file containing -the message body of the message to be sent. -To avoid sending mail when accounts are created, leave this entry -blank or specify -.Ql \&no . -.Pp -The -.Ar logfile -option allows logging of password file modifications into the -nominated log file. -To avoid creating or adding to such a logfile, then leave this -field blank or specify -.Ql \&no . -.Pp -The -.Ar home -keyword is mandatory. -This specifies the location of the directory in which all new user -home directories are created. -.Pp -The -.Ar homemode -keyword is optional. -It specifies the creation mask of the user's home directory and is modified by -.Xr umask 2 . -.Pp -The -.Ar shellpath -keyword specifies a list of directories - separated by colons -.Ql \&: -- which contain the programs used by the login shells. -.Pp -The -.Ar shells -keyword specifies a list of programs available for use as login -shells. -This list is a comma-separated list of shell names which should -not contain a path. -These shells must exist in one of the directories nominated by -.Ar shellpath . -.Pp -The -.Ar defaultshell -keyword nominates which shell program to use for new users when -none is specified on the -.Xr pw 8 -command line. -.Pp -The -.Ar defaultgroup -keyword defines the primary group (the group id number in the -password file) used for new accounts. -If left blank, or the word -.Ql \&no -is used, then each new user will have a corresponding group of -their own created automatically. -This is the recommended procedure for new users as it best secures each -user's files against interference by other users of the system -irrespective of the -.Em umask -normally used by the user. -.Pp -The -.Ar extragroups -keyword provides an automatic means of placing new users into groups within -the -.Pa /etc/groups -file. -This is useful where all users share some resources, and is preferable -to placing users into the same primary group. -The effect of this keyword can be overridden using the -.Fl G -option on the -.Xr pw 8 -command line. -.Pp -The -.Ar defaultclass -field determines the login class (See -.Xr login.conf 5 ) -that new users will be allocated unless overwritten by -.Xr pw 8 . -.Pp -The -.Ar minuid , -.Ar maxuid , -.Ar mingid , -.Ar maxgid -keywords determine the allowed ranges of automatically allocated user -and group id numbers. -The default values for both user and group ids are 1000 and 32000 as -minimum and maximum respectively. -The user and group id's actually used when creating an account with -.Xr pw 8 -may be overridden using the -.Fl u -and -.Fl g -command line options. -.Pp -The -.Ar expire_days -and -.Ar password_days -are used to automatically calculate the number of days from the date -on which an account is created when the account will expire or the -user will be forced to change the account's password. -A value of -.Ql \&0 -in either field will disable the corresponding (account or password) -expiration date. -.Sh LIMITS -The maximum line length of -.Pa /etc/pw.conf -is 1024 characters. -Longer lines will be skipped and treated -as comments. -.Sh FILES
