user adds

[derek b smith_1]

Has anyone ever added a user with numbers first as in 109das? I tried and I get invalid login in name.
Here is my command

useradd -u 14480 -g 300 -m -d /home/109das -s /usr/bin/ksh
-c "derek smith" 109das

Is this possible?

thanks, derek

hi,

sorry not supported: see "man 4 passwd" :

"The login name must begin with an alpha character and may only contain alphanumeric and underscore characters."

regards,
Thierry.

ok thanks! But, is there a way for new useradds to force the initial passwd to be a valid password, such as ohio123?

useradd command has nothing to do with a password generation. Whne the user is added using useradd, it is disabled by default. System admin needs to assign this user a new password via passwd command to make it active/enabled

Hi,

Yes. First you will need to get the encrypted strings for this password which can be done either by using "/usr/lib/makekey" or setting it to an existing user and grabbing the encrypted password from either /etc/passwd or /tcb directory on a trusted system. With makekey you have to supply *exactly* 10 chars with first 8 being the password and the last two any arbitrary chars of you choice. For ex.,
"echo Ohio2004xy|/usr/lib/makekey" Once you got the encrypted password, then use

/usr/sam/lbin/usermod.sam -p encrypted_string login_name

It will set the password.

Try creating user through SAM and choose "normal behaviour" for set password Options and then assign password to that User immediately (if you want you can set it to ohio123.

Hope this is what you are expecting.

so for
echo Ohio2004xy|/usr/lib/makekey" Once you got the encrypted password, then use

/usr/sam/lbin/usermod.sam -p encrypted_string login_name

this would be
/usr/sam/lbin/usermode.sam -p encryted_pword user id?

I have xyFPl71Wsg3cA as the encrypted passwd and this did not work when I went to login as my test account
