# User Management Solutions
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This section contains my solutions to various user management scenarios from the practice exercises.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Scenario: Creating Users with Specific Requirements
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### Original Problem
|
||
|
|
From Practice Scenarios v3: Create a user named 'john' with a custom shell and home directory.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### Environment
|
||
|
|
- OS Version: Rocky Linux 8.x
|
||
|
|
- Initial State: No user 'john' exists
|
||
|
|
- Required Outcome: User 'john' created with specific requirements
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### Solution Steps
|
||
|
|
1. Create the user with specific requirements
|
||
|
|
```bash
|
||
|
|
# Create user with custom home directory
|
||
|
|
sudo useradd -m -d /custom/home/john -s /bin/bash john
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
# Set password
|
||
|
|
sudo passwd john
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
This creates the user 'john' with a custom home directory and bash shell
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
2. Verify user creation
|
||
|
|
```bash
|
||
|
|
# Check user entry in /etc/passwd
|
||
|
|
grep john /etc/passwd
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
# Verify home directory
|
||
|
|
ls -la /custom/home/john
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
