- # /etc/adduser.local.conf: Configuration for /usr/local/sbin/adduser.local #
- ############################################################################
-
- # [JNZ] Modified 23-Sep-2004
-
- # This file configures the local system additions to adduser(8) and should
- # be modified to suit local conditions.
- #
- # adduser.local is a script that configures a user's account for various
- # "services". These services are simply convenient names for directories
- # that must be created, Unix groups to which the user must be added, files
- # that need to be copied and so on.
- #
- # Please see the end of this file for an explanation of its syntax.

- # Global Options #
- ######################
-
- # The "skelother" variable points to the "other" skeletal directory. This
- # directory is similar to /etc/skel (see the SKEL variable in
- # /etc/adduser.conf), except that files are not necessarily copied to the
- # home directory.
-
- skelother = /etc/skel.other
-
- # The "dirmode" variable specifies the octal mode used by chmod(1) for any
- # directories created by adduser.local. Note, however, that such created
- # directories automatically inherit the SGID (set group ID) bit from their
- # parent directory.

- # the user, with group owner "www"
- # - the link "public_html" is created to point to this directory

- ###########################
- # Syntax of this file #
- ###########################
-
- # The syntax of this file will be familiar to anyone who has used a
- # scripting language before. This file is processed line by line, with
- # each line either being blank (and hence ignored), a comment or a
- # configuration variable.
- #
- # Comment lines (such as this one) begin with a hash character ("#") and
- # continue to the end of the line. The hash character may be preceded by
- # white space. Comment lines, like blank lines, are ignored.
- #
- # All lines that are not blank or are comment lines contain configuration
- # variables (one per line, with no comments). A configuration variable
- # has one of two forms:
- #
- # variable = value
- # variable[service] = value
- #
- # The first form is for global variables, while the second form is for
- # variables associated with a particular service. Both the variable name
- # and the service name are alphanumeric strings and are case insensitive
- # (ie, a variable may be named "SKELOTHER", "skelother" or even
- # "SkelOther").
- #
- # The value is typically a string which may or may not be case sensitive.
- # It may be (but usually does not need to be) surrounded by single or
- # double quotes, in which case everything within the quotes is part of the
- # value. Note that white space may surround the variable, service and
- # value components; such white space is discarded, unless it appears in
- # quotes. You may NOT use backslash to quote quote characters!
- #
- # If a value takes the form of a boolean, "0", "false" and "no" are
- # treated as the false value, while "1", "true" and "yes" are treated as
- # the true value. In both cases, the value is case-insensitive.
- #
- #
- # GLOBAL VARIABLES:
- # =================
- #
- # The following global variables are available:
- #
- # skelother
- # dirmode
- # filemode
- #
- # These are described in the section "Global Options" above.
- #
- #
- # SERVICE VARIABLES:
- # ==================
- #
- # The main role of adduser.local is to configure a user's account for
- # various "services". These services are simply convenient names for
- # directories that must be created, Unix groups to which the user must be
- # added, files that need to be copied and so on.
- #
- # adduser.local is informed of the existence of a service by the "service"
- # global variable:
- #
- # service = servicename
- #
- # The service name "servicename" may be any case-insensitive alphanumeric
- # string. Examples used within this file are "www" and "zip". Service
- # names need not correspond to any real service --- they are completely
- # internal to adduser.local, and are only used as a key for service
- # variables. The "service" global variable may appear multiple times,
- # each time with a different service name.
- #
- # The order of the "service" global variables IS important, as that is the
- # order in which those services are created. This is important if one
- # service depends on a prior one having been set up.
- #
- # The "service" global variable must appear before any of the services
- # variables for that service are defined.
- #
- # The following service variables are available, and may be specified in
- # any order:
- #
- # user
- # group
- # addtogroup
- # homedir
- # subdir
- # althome
- # mounted
- # mkdir
- # chgrpdir
- # mklink
- # linkname
- # skelfile
- # chgrpskel
- #
- # Remember that each service variable is followed by a service name in
- # square brackets. In the following explanations, "svc" is used as a
- # sample service name.
- #
- #
- # user[svc] = uname
- #
- # Specifies that the service belongs to a real user, and that that
- # service user name is "uname". This user name must appear in the
- # password database file either in the first field (ie, a user name)
- # or in the third (ie, a numeric UID).
- #
- # Specifying a user name or UID also sets default values for the
- # "group" and "homedir" service variables. These default values are
- # taken from the password database (the "homedir" variable is only set
- # if the "althome" variable is set to false).
- #
- #
- # group[svc] = gname
- #
- # Specifies that the service's group name is "gname". This group name
- # must appear in the group database file either in the first field
- # (ie, a group name) or in the third (ie, a numeric GID).
- #
- # If this variable is not specified, or is specified with "gname" as
- # an empty string "", and the user variable is specified (and points
- # to a valid user), the group name is taken to be the service user's
- # default group. For example, if "user[svc] = mail" were to be
- # specified, and group[svc] were not, the group used would be default
- # group for the user "mail" (which happens to be GID 8, ie, "mail").
- #
- # This group is also used for the group owner of directories, links
- # and copied files, depending on the settings of the "chgrpdir" and
- # "chgrpskel" variables.
- #
- #
- # addtogroup[svc] = boolean
- #
- # Instructs whether to add the user to the group specified by the
- # "group" variable or implied by the "user" variable. If true,
- # adduser.local adds the user to the group, assuming that the group,
- # in fact, exists.
- #
- # If this variable is not specified, false is assumed.
- #
- #
- # homedir[svc] = path
- #
- # Specifies the service's home directory as an absolute path name (ie,
- # starting from "/"). The service's home directory is used to check
- # if it is a mount point, as well as a base directory for the "mkdir"
- # and "skelfile" variables. If the directory does not exist, those
- # variables take no effect.
- #
- # If this variable is not specified, or is specified with "path" as an
- # empty string "", the value used for the service's home directory is
- # calculated in one of two ways. The first method is to use the home
- # directory of the service user; the second is to use the home
- # directory of the user for whom adduser.local was called.
- #
- # The first method is used when the "althome" variable is set to false
- # and the "user" variable is specified (and points to a valid user).
- # For example, if "user[svc] = www" and "althome[svc] = false" were to
- # be specified, the default value of the "homedir" variable would be
- # taken from www's home directory, typically "/var/www".
- #
- # The second method is used when the "althome" variable is true. For
- # example, if adduser.local were to be called for the user "anna", and
- # "althome" were set to true, the "homedir" variable would be set to
- # the home directory of anna, typically "/home/anna".
- #
- # Note that neither of these methods is used if the "homedir" variable
- # is set to anything other than an empty string; in such a case, the
- # specified value for the variable is always used.
- #
- #
- # subdir[svc] = path
- #
- # Specifies a subdirectory off the home directory. This subdirectory
- # is used for creating the new directory, copying the skeleton file
- # and for the destination of the link.
- #
- # If the "althome" variable is set to false, the subdirectory must
- # already exist and is used in conjunction with the home directory and
- # the user's name (for whom adduser.local was called). For example,
- # if the following were to be specified:
- #
- # homedir[svc] = /media/zip
- # subdir[svc] = home
- # althome[svc] = false
- # mkdir[svc] = true
- #
- # and the user's name (for whom adduser.local was called) was "james",
- # the directory "/media/zip/home/james" would be created.
- #
- # If, on the other hand, the "althome" variable was set to true, the
- # subdirectory is used only in conjunction with the home directory; it
- # is THAT directory that is created. For example, if the following
- # were to be specified:
- #
- # althome[svc] = true
- # subdir[svc] = "public_html"
- # mkdir[svc] = true
- #
- # and adduser.local were called for the user "kathy" (who had the home
- # directory "/home/kathy"), the directory "/home/kathy/public_html"
- # would be created.
- #
- # and the user's name (for whom adduser.local was called) was "james",
- # the directory "/media/zip/home/james" would be created.
- #
- # If this variable is not specified, blank is assumed.
- #
- #
- # althome[svc] = boolean
- #
- # Specifies whether the default value for the "homedir" variable is to
- # be taken from the service's home directory or from the user's home
- # directory (for whom adduser.local was called). If false, the
- # service's home directory (implied by the "user" setting) is used.
- # If true, the actual user's home directory is used.
- #
- # This variable also controls whether or not the user's login name is
- # used as part of the directory created by the "mkdir" variable and
- # used by the "mklink" and "skelfile" variables. See "homedir" and
- # "mklink" for more details.
- #
- # If this variable is not specified, false is assumed.
- #
- #
- # mounted[svc] = boolean
- #
- # Specifies whether to check if the directory specified by the
- # "homedir" variable (or implied by other variables) is mounted or
- # not. A directory is mounted if it, or any parent directory, is
- # mounted (excluding the root directory, which is always mounted).
- # For example, if the following were to be specified (and the user's
- # name were "alice"):
- #
- # homedir[svc] = /home/external/server/ftp
- # subdir[svc] = doc/users
- # mounted[svc] = true
- # mkdir[svc] = true
- #
- # then the directory "/home/external/server/ftp/doc/users/alice" would
- # be created only if either "/home/external/server/ftp",
- # "/home/external/server", "/home/external" or "/home" were mounted.
- #
- # If this variable is not specified, false is assumed (ie, the mount
- # check is NOT performed).
- #
- # Note that "checking for mounting" is defined as examining the
- # contents of /proc/mounts. It does NOT actually attempt to mount the
- # directories.
- #
- #
- # mkdir[svc] = boolean
- #
- # Directs adduser.local whether or not to create the directory
- # specified by the "homedir" and "subdir" variables. If the "althome"
- # variable is false, the directory that is created has the user's
- # login name at the end. In all cases, the newly created directory
- # belongs to that user. For example, if adduser.local was called for
- # the user "david", and the following lines were to be specified:
- #
- # homedir[data1] = "/data/1"
- # subdir[data1] = "users"
- # althome[data1] = false
- # mkdir[data1] = true
- #
- # then the directory "/data/1/users/david" would be created, owned by
- # the user "david". If, on the other hand, the following were to be
- # specified (for the same user "david"):
- #
- # subdir[www] = "public_html"
- # althome[www] = true
- # mkdir[www] = true
- #
- # then the directory "/home/david/public_html" would be created
- # (assuming "/home/david" was david's home directory), owned by the
- # user "david".
- #
- # The mode of the directory is taken from the "dirmode" global
- # variable in this configuration file. See also the comment on that
- # global variable.
- #
- # The group owner of the directory is either the same as the user's
- # (in this case, if the user "david" was in the group "users" by
- # default, then the group owner would be "users"), or the same as the
- # service user's group (see the "group" variable for more
- # information). The "chgrpdir" variable specifies which of these two
- # options is used.
- #
- # If this variable is not specified, false is assumed.
- #
- #
- # chgrpdir[svc] = boolean
- #
- # Specifies the group owner of any directory and link created by the
- # "mkdir" and "mklink" variables respectively. If true is specified,
- # the group owner is the same as specified by the "group" variable (or
- # implied by the "user" variable). If false is specified, the group
- # owner is the same as the actual user's default group.
- #
- # If this variable is not specified, false is assumed.
- #
- #
- # mklink[svc] = boolean
- #
- # Specifies whether or not to create a symbolic link to the created
- # directory (see "mkdir" above) in the actual user's home directory.
- # The name of the link is taken from the "linkname" variable below.
- # For example, if the following were to be specified, and
- # adduser.local were called for the user "mark":
- #
- # homedir[data1] = "/data/1"
- # subdir[data1] = "users"
- # althome[data1] = false
- # mkdir[data1] = true
- # mklink[data1] = true
- # linkname[data1] = "data1"
- #
- # then, not only would the directory "/data/1/users/mark" be created,
- # but the symbolic link "data1" would be created in his home directory
- # as well, pointing to that directory (that is, "/home/mark/data1" ->
- # "/data/1/users/mark").
- #
- # If this variable is not specified, false is assumed.
- #
- #
- # linkname[svc] = path
- #
- # Specifies the name of the symbolic link created in the user's home
- # directory, as demonstrated in the example above. If "path" includes
- # subdirectories, these subdirectories must already exist before the
- # symbolic link is created.
- #
- # If the "mklink" variable is true, and the "linkname" variable is not
- # specified, or is an empty string "", the name of the service is used
- # (as specified by the "service" global variable).
- #
- #
- # skelfile[svc] = path
- #
- # Instructs adduser.local to copy the file "path" from the "skelother"
- # skeleton directory (see the global variable of that name) into the
- # newly-created directory specified by the "mkdir" variable. For
- # example, if adduser.local was called for the user "nina", and the
- # following lines were to be specified:
- #
- # homedir[www] = "/home/www"
- # subdir[www] = "doc/users"
- # althome[www] = false
- # mkdir[www] = true
- # skelfile[www] = "index.html"
- #
- # then the directory "/home/www/doc/users/nina" would be created and
- # the file "index.html" would be copied from /etc/skel.other (or from
- # the directory specified by the "skelother" global variable) into
- # that newly-created directory.
- #
- # The newly-copied file will have a mode as specified by the
- # "filemode" global variable, and its group owner will either be the
- # default group of the user, or the group as specified by the "group"
- # variable or implied by the "user" variable. See the "chgrpskel"
- # variable below.
- #
- # If this variable is not specified, or "path" is an empty string "",
- # no file is copied. If a file of that name already exists, it is NOT
- # overwritten. Only one file may be specified in any given service;
- # if more are needed, simply create additional services with matching
- # "homedir", "subdir", "althome" and "mkdir" variables.
- #
- #
- # chgrpskel[svc] = boolean
- #
- # Determines whether or not adduser.local changes the group owner of
- # the copied skeleton file (specified by the "skelfile" variable
- # above) to the group specified by the "group" variable or implied by
- # the "user" variable. If this variable is false, the default group
- # of the user remains the group owner.
- #
- # If this variable is not specified, false is assumed.
- #
- #
- # End of /etc/adduser.local.conf.
