SYNOPSIS

adduser

[-u UID] user

adduser

-h

DESCRIPTION

adduser

(8) creates a new local XSCF user account. This account is used to

configure, operate, manage and administer the XSCF firmware. Initially, this
account has no password. It cannot be used for login until either the password is set
(using password(8)) or Secure Shell (SSH) public key authentication is set for the
user. The new account will be locked but not disabled. The system can support up
to 100 local users with an average length of 10 characters for the user operand.

If the Service Processor is configured to use Lightweight Directory Access Protocol
(LDAP), Active Directory, or LDAP/SSL for user account data, the user name and
UID (if specified) must not already be in use locally or in LDAP, Active Directory, or
LDAP/SSL.

When a user is created, adduser(8) command stores the current password policy
values in a file for the user. For more information on setting password policy see,
