User Databases
Users can be imported to SiteBuilder from different user databases;
either from another AC database or from the operating system (OS).
There are two modules in the SiteBuilder distribution that can handle
this automatically.
AC: AC database user import
Imports users and groups from another AC database. The imported data
is updated automatically in periodic intervals.
AC: OS user import
Imports users and groups from the OS using various methods. The
imported data is updated automatically in periodic intervals.
- file
-
Read users, groups and passwords from /etc/passwd,
/etc/group style files.
- shadow
-
As file, but passwords are also read from /etc/shadow,
/etc/gshadow style files.
- ypcat
-
As file, but the ypcat program is used in
non-privileged mode to get the files.
- niscat
-
As file, but the niscat program, available on
Solaris systems, is used in privileged mode to get the files.
- getpwent
-
Read users, groups and passwords using the getpwent and
getgrent system calls. Should work on all systems, but
might be slower than other methods.
