Title: manipulating users
Post by: nomer on March 05, 2012, 07:14:47 PM

Pardon me if this has been asked before, but if I want to go about making my TinyCore System multi-user are there any tczs that I'll need for creating/editing/deleting users properly? I'm fine with the command line; what I really want to know is: "will the BusyBox commands for manipulating users be sufficient or will they need to be replaced with the a 'more standard' version of these commands."

The reason I ask I that I've run into some issues while trying to create a multi-user system and I just wanted to eliminate this possibility first.

Thanks,
Nomer

The few occasions where I had to use any of the "{add|del}{user|group} crowd" I had no problems with the BusyBox applets. But I just found that the shadow-utils.tcz extension provides for some alternatives, so you could give that a try.

Okay, Thanks for the info maro. I'll just keep using the busybox applets in that case.
