To Create a Non-Root User on the Access Manager 1 Host Machine

1. As a root user, log in to the AccessManager–1 host machine.

2. Use roleadd to create a new user.

   # roleadd -s /sbin/sh -m -g staff -d /export/am71adm am71adm

   ---

   Note –

   We chose to use roleadd rather than useradd for security reasons as roleadd disables the ability of the user to log in.

3. (Optional) Verify that the user was created.

   # cat /etc/passwd root:x:0:0:Super-User:/:/sbin/sh daemon:x:1:1::/: ... nobody4:x:65534:SunOS 4.x NFS Anonymous Access User:/: am71adm:x:215933:10::/export/am71adm:/sbin/sh

4. (Optional) Verify that the user's directory was created.

   # cd /export/am71adm # ls local.cshrc local.profile local.login

5. Create a password for the non-root user.

   # passwd am71adm New Password: 4m71a6m Re-ener new Pasword: 4m71a6m passwd: password successfully changed for am71adm

   Caution –

   If you do not perform this step, you will not be able to switch user (su) when logged in as the non-root user.
