# 1.25 14-Jan-2004 agc

Add -S argument to useradd, usermod and userdel, which allows the use of
a trailing '$' character in user names.

Requested in PR 23922 by Takahiro Kambe.

Also, fix a bug in the previous fix to usermod.


# 1.24 25-Feb-2003 wiz

.Nm does not need a dummy argument ("") before punctuation or
for correct formatting of the SYNOPSIS any longer.


# 1.23 14-Feb-2003 grant

The correct capitalisation of 'NetBSD.org' is (you
guessed it) 'NetBSD.org'.

some mdoc fixes.


# 1.22 04-Feb-2003 perry

"Utilize" has exactly the same meaning as "use," but it is more
difficult to read and understand. Most manuals of English style
therefore say that you should use "use".

# 1.21 21-Dec-2002 wiz

directory has a c. From Adrian Mrva.


# 1.20 08-Jul-2002 agc

Remove user from supplementary groups when deleting a user and not
preserving information.

Remove BUGS section from userdel(8) accordingly.

Generate <>& symbolically. I'm avoiding .../dist/... directories for now.


# 1.13 02-Feb-2002 wiz

Sort SEE ALSO, use standard headers.


# 1.12 19-Jan-2002 wiz

Whitespace nits.


# 1.11 16-Oct-2001 agc

Update documentation to reflect reality - "userdel -p" replaces the login
shell with /sbin/nologin, rather than /usr/bin/false.


# 1.10 05-Jun-2001 wiz

Drop argument of .Os.


# 1.9 21-Feb-2001 agc

Mention that pwd_mkdb(8) is used to update the database, and that it may
take some time to complete at large sites, as in vipw(8).

Cross-reference pwd_mkdb(8)


# 1.8 03-Oct-2000 bjh21

Fix SYNOPSES:
Options without arguments go first in a bunch (see /usr/share/misc/style)
"add", "del", "info", "mod" arguments to user(8) and group(8) are command
modifiers, not normal text.
-D is not optional when setting the defaults for useradd(8)

Also add a missing .Ar to groupinfo.8


# 1.7 03-Oct-2000 bjh21

Apply .Fl, .Dq, .Ql and .Ar where necessary to fix formatting.


# 1.6 18-Aug-2000 wiz

user's UID is not kept if preserve is "false" (typo fix)
false(1) -> .Xr false 1

# 1.5 13-Mar-2000 soren

branches: 1.5.4;
Fix doubled 'the's.


# 1.4 28-Feb-2000 enami

- Use .Ar for argument.
- Move SEE ALSO section before the HISTORY section as described in
mdoc(7) with:
+ removing traing dot.
+ spliting files into FILES section.
- Refer pathnames using .Pa (rather .Ar or .Xr).


# 1.3 24-Dec-1999 agc

branches: 1.3.2; 1.3.4;
Add new functionality, and fix some bugs and oversights:

+ Moved all internal definitions from usermgmt.h to user.c
+ Added prototypes to usermgmt.h
+ Allow defaults to be set at build time
+ Check the effective uid is 0 if any data is to be modified
+ Check all numeric uids and gids really are numeric
+ Fix a bug (reported by lenb at sasquatch.com) where new ranges were
appended to old ranges, rather than replacing them
+ Add userinfo(8) and groupinfo(8) utilities (if EXTENSIONS is
defined), whereby user and group information can be displayed. Add
manual pages for new utilities. Add front-end calling from user(8)
and group(8) accordingly.
+ Make all functions visible outside the user.c file again. User and
group manipulation may be split out into a separate shared lib in the
future
+ Split off main function into a separate main.c
+ Changed default group to be "users"
+ Changed despatch table for commands to work in a more sane manner
+ Added "default-group" target to Makefile, so that the default group
can be made easily.

# 1.2 07-Dec-1999 lukem

use (c) instead of 8bit copyright symbol...


# 1.1 06-Dec-1999 agc

Add SVR4/Solaris-like useradd/usermod/userdel functionality, and
groupadd/groupmod/groupdel functionality, along with two front-end
utilities, user(8) and group(8).

Based on the addnerd package, but most of the interface has been
completely rewritten, and suggestions from simonb and mrg have been
incorporated.
