In this procedure, you add entries to a
passwd
file on a UNIX client using a text editor,
then transfer the file to the filer. You add entries to the
passwd
file on a UNIX client
because each entry in the file requires an encrypted password and the filer does not
have a command for creating passwords. The format for entries in the
passwd
file is
as follows:
XVHUQDPHSDVVZRUGXLGJLGIXOO QDPHGHIDXOWVKHOO
6WHSV
To add entries to a
passwd
file, perform the following steps:
1. Log in to a UNIX client as the root user.
2. Change to the /
etc
directory.
3. Make a copy of the existing
passwd
file under a new name, such as
passwd.old
.
4. Open the existing
passwd
file in a text editor.
5. Add an entry for each user who needs access to files.
Leave the password and default shell fields empty. You set passwords in step 8.
The filer does not use the default shell field.
6. If you did not purchase a license for the NFS protocol, delete any entries from the
passwd
file that are for non-CIFS users.
7. Save the file and exit the editor.
8. Set a password for each user by entering the following command:
SDVVZGXVHUQDPH
The
passwd
program prompts you to enter the new password twice.
9. Copy the
passwd
file from the UNIX client to the
/etc
directory on the filer.
10. Delete the
passwd
file from the UNIX client and rename the saved file to
passwd
.
11. Continue with "Adding Entries to the group File."
