Managing user accounts and passwords (cont’d.)
/cfg/sys/user
followed by:
expire <time> Sets an expiration time for system user passwords.
The time applies to all system users. The counter
starts from when the password was last set. The first
time the system user logs on after the specified time
has expired, the user is prompted for a new password.
•
time is the length of time in days (d), hours (h),
minutes (m), or seconds (s or unspecified). The
default unit is seconds. The default expiration time
is 0 seconds (no expiry).
If the time you specify combines time units, the
format is DDdHHhMMmSS. For example, to make
all passwords expire in 30 days, 2 hours, and 45
minutes, enter 30d2h45m..
list
Lists all user accounts. The three built-in users (admin,
oper, and root) are always listed.
del <username> Removes the specified user account from the system.
Of the three built-in users (admin, oper, and root), only
the oper user can be deleted.
You must have administrator rights in order to delete
user accounts.
ATTENTION
When you delete a user, the user’s group assignment
is also deleted. If you are deleting a user who is
the sole member of a group, none of the remaining
users on the system can then be added to that group.
Existing users can only be added to a group by a
user who is already a member of that group. Before
deleting a user, verify that the user is not the sole
member of a group.
