Original question:
What we are trying to do is (all under C2 without using the GUI
tool):
1) Create a new user account
2) Unlock user accounts
3) Change passwords on accounts
For 1) `useradd $USERNAME`
2) `usermod -x administrative_lock_applied=0 $USERNAME`
3) `passwd $USERNAME`
It was also suggested that we look at a package called zuausr from The
University of Alaska,
ftp://raven.alaska.edu/pub/randy/zuausr/ . But we
haven't looked at it yet.
There were also a few suggestions to use /tcb/bin/edauth <user> to unlock
the user by changing the u_lock to u_lock_at_.
We chose to use 'useradd,' 'usermod,' & 'passwd' because it was an easier
script to write. We are able to use sudo so that specific users are able to
run the script.
Thanks again for all the help with this.
