users and passwords

[Lorenzo Facello]

Hi All,
Do you know
- which are exactly users that we have at the moment that we install up-ux 11.11
- if they have default password
- if I change one of this, which are the effects?
Thanks a lot,
Regards

Don't change any of these:

root:*:0:3::/root:/sbin/sh
daemon:*:1:5::/:/sbin/sh
bin:*:2:2::/usr/bin:/sbin/sh
sys:*:3:3::/:
adm:*:4:4::/var/adm:/sbin/sh
uucp:*:5:3::/var/spool/uucppublic:/usr/lbin/uucp/uucico
lp:*:9:7::/var/spool/lp:/sbin/sh
nuucp:*:11:11::/var/spool/uucppublic:/usr/lbin/uucp/uucico
hpdb:*:27:1:ALLBASE:/:/sbin/sh
www:*:30:1::/:
webadmin:*:40:1::/usr/obam/server/nologindir:/usr/bin/false
smbnull:*:101:101:DO NOT USE OR DELETE - needed by Samba:/home/smbnull:/sbin/sh
ids:*:102:102:IDS/9000 Administrator:/home/ids:/sbin/sh
sshd:*:103:103:sshd privsep:/var/empty:/bin/false

root will have to have a password change, but DONT change its shell.

This is an 11.11 system with apache, samba, ids9000 and Secure shell.

Users that you added yourself with the useradd command should not be set to default password and have more flexibility.

These are created when hp-ux installation is done.

root
daemon
bin
sys
adm
uucp
lp
nuucp
hpdb
www

You can lock uucp,smbnull if you do not use uucp and samba services,

Nobody has got the default passwords.

As said if you do not use uucp, samba then you can disable them.

do not change the root shell.
