The passwd command can also be used to change passwords. The
passwd program queries the user for the old password before
establishing a new one.
5. Add startup files like .cshrc , .login , and .profile to the new user’s
home directory. These files control the details of the user’s
environment. You can copy the startup files from /usr/people/guest ,
modifying them if necessary.
The choice of the C shell or the Bourne shell determines which files
are necessary. If you choose the C shell, the user’s home directory
should contain the files .login and . cshrc . The C shell reads the .cshrc
file in the user’s home directory each time a shell is started. If the
shell is a login shell, the C shell then reads the .login file in the
user’s home directory.
If you choose the Bourne shell, the user’s home directory should
contain the file .profile . The Bourne shell reads the .profile file in the
user’s home directory when a login shell is started. For more
information on the C shell and the Bourne shell, see csh (1) and sh (1).
Each user’s shell startup file should use the tset command to read
/etc/ttytype and set the terminal type, so that screen editors and other
programs know how to communicate with the terminal. The usual
way to use tset with the C shell is to add these lines to your .login
file:
set noglob
set tmp = (`tset -s -Q`)
setenv TERM = tmp[1]
setenv TERMCAP = tmp[2]
unset tmp noglob
Add this line to your .profile file to use tset with the Bourne shell:
eval `tset -s -Q`
For more information, see tset (1) and ttytype (4).
