[comp.unix.xenix] Shell managment under SCO Unix

dp@adagio.chorus.fr (Didier Poirot) (12/28/89)

 Has anybody tried to add another shell (say ksh) to the list of possible
shells to use in sysadmsh ?

 I have modified the /usr/lib/mkuser directory, to add a ksh directory with
mkuser.defs, and mkuser.init files, and setup access. When I use F3 menu
in sysadmsh, under Account->User->Create, to list the different shells, it
lists ksh, but, when 'useshell' runs, it complains with:

useshell: File Control database inconsistency
useshell: Not authorized


 Is there a program to update the database after it changes?


			Thanks in advance.

Look at the file /etc/auth/system/files and copy the listing for
/usr/lib/mkuser/sh substituting ksh (or bash, or whatever shell) for
sh.  Then it works fine.
