Account maintainance commands

Normal users

Create new account

  1. Have the following information ready:
  • Full name
  • Cellphone number
  1. Pick a username:
  • Start with the initials of the user
  • Include also second letter of either first name or surname
  • Add a trailing number if necessary (or better: third letter of first name or surname)
  • The result should be practical (short and related to the name of the user) but must not be a nickname or initals: A username is comparable to the shape of a key - the user may get confused in every day use if it looks like a toy or jewelery!
  1. Generate some random passwords and create the account using a good one (pronaouncable but meaningless) of those codes:

    (user=<username>; gpw && adduser $user && chage -M30 -W14 $user)
    
  • Full name: Full name (Capital and small letters allowed, as is space and special characters, but no comma!)
  • Room number: Primary group within the organisation
  • Work phone: POTS phone number (optional)
  • Home phone: Cellphone number
  • Other: leave this blank for now (do not unclude email hints yet!)
  1. Compose an email based on the introEmail skeleton:
  • If an ouside working email address has been provided, then use that as recipient. Alternatively use the contact person of the new user (teacher, boss etc.) as recipient.
  • Add <username>@users.kaospilot.no as Cc:.
  • Add tech@lists.kaospilot.no as Reply-To:.
  1. Send a cellphone text message to the new user with the following text:

    Du har fået ny adgangskode. Den skal ændres inden 14 dage - se websiden https://wiki.kaospilot.no/BrugerKonto og check din mail. Koden er: <adgangskode>
    

FIXME: Gør denne rutine semi-automatisk: Valg af adgangskode og udsendelse af sms bør ske automatisk.

Attach groups to account

  1. Attach the account to relevant organisational groups:

    (user=<username>; for group in <group1> [<group2> ...]; do adduser $user $group; done)
    

Add/replace additional email addresses to account

Extend password lifespan

When a user has changed password into something personal, the password lifespan is extended to 1 year:

(user=<username>; chage -M360 -W30 $user)

TODO: The above command should ideally never ever be invoked manyally, but automatically through PAM

Reset password

(user=<username>; gpw && finger $user && passwd $user && chage -M30 -W14 $user)

== Varsel om udløb af adgangskode ==

  1. Læg mærke til logbeskeder om adgangskoder der snart udløber
  2. Send en sms med følgende besked: Du skal ændre din adgangskode - den udløber snart! Læs hvordan og hvorfor på websiden http://wiki.kaospilot.no/BrugerKonto

TODO: Omskriv som automatisk syslog-ng plugin eller cron script tilknyttet en sms gateway.

=== Udløbstid for konti med varighed under 100 dage ===

(group=<gruppe>; echo $group:; for user in `members $group`; do chage -l $user|egrep -q '^Maximum:[[:blank:]]*[0-9]{2}$' && printf $user'\t' && chage -l $user|egrep '^Password Expires:'; done)
