User in /etc/passwd but not in /tcb/files/auth

[Jean-Marc Beaudoin_1]

Good day,

Somehow, someone here have created a user manually in /etc/passwd with the result that this new user as NOT it's /tcb/files/auth entry.

How would you insert/create it's /tcb/files/auth with nos disruption at all to the normal operation of the server ?

run pwconv to update the changes from /etc/passwd to the trusted structure.

Check out the man page.. This is specifically what the command is for.

hi, just run pwconv which will make updates based on any changes in /etc/passwd

You should be able to use pwconv to create the TCB entry. And then find out who was manually editing the passwd file to add users instead of the useradd command so you can beat them with a stick. :)
