Use the pdbtool to add/remove users. If you really want to edit an /etc/passwd style file, the pdbtool has export and import commands to dump and read a similar fileformat. But you probably shouldn't simply import an existing /etc/passwd because you'll lose the System:Administrators etc. groups. > By the way, as I've read through the Coda documentation, I've found a number > of little inconsistencies: various references to groups_coda and user_coda > as opposed to groups.coda and user.coda respectively, references to pwd2pdb > instead of pwdtopdbtool.py, and the like.

I really appreciate having this > good software at my disposal, so I'd like to help out. The `Coda user and system administration manual' is seriously out of date on many points. The more up-to-date reference is probably the Coda-HOWTO, although that one is still missing sections on backups and user administration. > I look forward to setting up a production Coda system here (and then > finally getting back to writing code. ;^) ) I hope that if you set up a production system, you won't have to get stuck debugging code :) JanReceived on 2000-01-20 12:12:58
