Name: SYSUSER (Add System User)
Maintainer(s): Andreas Vogel (omega)
Target: N5200
Latest version: 2.00.02
Depends on module(s): none
Description
General Overview and Installation
This module comes as a ZIP compressed file with the name N5200_<modname>_<version>.zip, where <modname> is the module name and <version> is the version number of the module. While unpacking the ZIP file, a new directory N5200_<modname>_<version> containing the module and its source code is created.
The module file is called <modname>.mod and the source code is located in the directory <modname>. The source code is included for interested people and is not needed for module installation. The file Makefile can be used to rebuild the module on Linux systems.
The module is installed using the "System"->"Module Mgmt" menu in the Thecus Web Server Administration. Specify the file <modname>.mod as the module file and press "Install".
The whole installation process is logged and sent as an E-Mail if you're configured in the E-Mail notification configuration. After successful installation enable the module in order to run the module.
After uninstallation of the module, a log of the uninstall process will be send to the user(s) configured in the E-mail notification configuration. Prior uninstallation of the module, the actual configuration data is backed up to the place "/data/raid/module/backup/<modname>". When the module is installed again, the module configuration is restored from that place if available.
Module version 2.00.00
This module will do the following things:
- Add the user sys with password sys to the system. The home directory is /root. The user id is 0 and the group id is 0. In fact, the user sys has the same rights as the user root.
- Warning: for security reasons, please change the password for the sys user immediately after installing this package.
- Note: you definitely need to install this package if you want to use the SSHD package - otherwise you don't have any chance to login to the system.
On the module property page, you can do this:
- Reset the password for user sys to sys
- Set a new passwod for user sys
- Set a new password for any existing user (every user in /etc/passwd and /etc/shadow)
Module version 2.00.01
Two bugs have been fixed: an error in the usertool script prevented changing successfully the passwords on the module property page and every time the module was started the password for the user sys was reset to sys. Both errors should be fixed now.
Module version 2.00.02
More bug fixing in order to keep the password even when disabling/enabling or uninstalling/installing the module.
