  • 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.
