Re: [CentOS] Adduser help

I believe that if you do not provide the -m switch it will not create a user home dir. They will be placed in a group that is the same as their username. If you are creating a service account then you should probably give the user a null shell using -s /sbin/nologin. And if you do not specify a password the account is disabled. This give's you:

useradd -s /sbin/nologin openpbx

Ah, I had already created the group per instructions, so

useradd -g openpbx -s /sbin/nologin openpbx

worked. I hope it worked right!

That should do it!

there is the following adduser command:

adduser --no-create-home --ingroup openpbx --disabled-password
--disabled-login openpbx

This does NOT seem to be the right format for Centos.  So far, using
man, I have come up with;


adduser -M -g openpbx

What else do I need?
