User databases

Users can be imported to SiteBuilder from different user databases; either from another access control database or from the operating system. There are two modules in the SiteBuilder distribution that can handle this automatically.

AC: AC database user import
Imports users and groups from another access control database. The imported data is updated automatically in periodic intervals.

AC: OS user import
Imports users and groups from the operating system using various methods. The imported data is updated automatically in periodic intervals.

file
Read users, groups and passwords from /etc/passwd, /etc/group style files.

shadow
As file, but passwords are also read from /etc/shadow, /etc/gshadow style files.

ypcat
As file, but the ypcat program is used in non-privileged mode to get the files.

niscat
As file, but the niscat program, available on Solaris systems, is used in privileged mode to get the files.

getpwent
Read users, groups and passwords using the getpwent and getgrent system calls. Should work on all systems, but might be slower than other methods.
