Hello,
I have a requirement where the clients should be able to create their own
accounts (OS accounts) but with a limitation on GROUPID, HOME DIR, SHELL, etc
means they cannot choose any of them. All of them will be predefined. They
should only provide the UserID.
I was thinking of a script which basically calls ?useradd? predefining GROUP,
Home dir etc and then making it available using SUDO.
Is there any better way to do this or is there any tool that I can use that
allows normal users to create accounts with ofcourse no security risks.
I appreciate you suggestions
Thanks
