Create Email and FTP User Accounts
This document is for those who wish to manage their server via telnet/SSH.
To use a simpler graphical interface, use iManager
web interface.
Adding Users
The following commands deal directly with users and their profiles. Each
command is explained in detail later:
NOTE:
The Solaris Virtual Server password file (~/etc/passwd)
format mirrors the native Solaris format. Additional services (such
as FTP and email) and per-service quota controls will be found in
the privileges file (~/etc/vpriv.conf).
For the Solaris Virtual Server, each account in the password file
has a corresponding entry in the privileges file listing enabled services
and per-service quotas. |
Use "vadduser" to
add users and modify existing users' profiles.
From a Telnet prompt, enter:
% vadduser
NOTE:
Good passwords are essential to your server's security. See our
guidelines
for effective passwords.
NOTE:
FTP and e-mail services are added to each user account by default.
If you want the user account to have both FTP and e-mail privileges,
just hit the "Enter" key when asked to accept the defaults.
For the user to have FTP privileges only; deselect the mail privileges
by entering "mail". For the user to have email privileges only;
deselect the ftp prvileges by entering "ftp". If you need to add
a service not currently in the list enclosed by the square brackets
([]), then type the service (mail or ftp) and hit the enter key.
If the user
account will be accessed via IMAP instead of POP, then FTP service
must be enabled. |
