Re: suggestion for cygutils - usermod (was Re: howto change homepath in /etc/passwd)

The below message suggests that maybe we should have a usermod program
in cygwin.  It should probably be in cygutils, I suspect.

Anyone willing to investigate the linux version of usermod and submit it
to cygutils (assuming Chuck agrees)?

cygutils contains several utilities from util-linux. The userfoo tools are normally found in the 'shadow-utils' package on RPM-based linux systems.


I'm not sure if the userfoo commands belong in cygutils -- or in a package of their own, as Igor suggests. I'll go with whatever the community decides -- but right now, it's a moot point. I haven't seen any code.

If anyone is interested in sending me a patch to incorporate the userfoo tools into cygutils, see /usr/src/doc/cygutils-1.1.3/HOW-TO-CONTRIBUTE
