Maintenance Commands rolemod(1M)NAME
rolemod - modify a role's login information on the systemSYNOPSIS
rolemod [ -u uid [ -o ] ] [ -g group ] [ -G group [ , group ... ] ] [ -d dir [ -m ] ] [ -s shell ] [ -c comment ] [ -l new_name ] [ -f inactive ] [ -e expire ] [ -A authorization [ , authorization ] ] [ -P profile [ , profile ] ] roleDESCRIPTION
The rolemod utility modifies a role's login information on the system. It changes the definition of the specified login and makes the appropriate login-related system file and file system changes. The system file entries created with this command have a limit of 512 characters per line. Specifying long arguments to several options may exceed this limit.OPTIONS
The following options are supported: -A authorization One or more comma separated authorizations as deined in auth_attr(4). Only role with grant rights to the authorization can assign it to an account. This replaces any existing authorization setting. -c comment Specify a comment string. comment can be any text string. It is generally a short description of the login, and is currently used as the field for the user's full name. This information is stored in the user's /etc/passwd entry. -d dir Specify the new home directory of the role. It defaults to base_dir/login, where base_dir is the base directory for new login home directories, and login is the new login. -e expire Specify the expiration date for a role. After this date, no role will be able to access this login. The expire option argument is a date entered using one of the date formats included in the template file /etc/datemsk. See getdate(3C). For example, you may enter 10/6/90 or October 6, 1990. A value of `` '' defeats the status of the expired date.

Normal values are positive integers. A value of 0 defeats the status. -g group Specify an existing group's integer ID or character- string name. It redefines the role's primary group membership. -G group Specify an existing group's integer "ID" "," or char- acter string name. It redefines the role's supplemen- tary group membership. Duplicates between group with the -g and -G options are ignored. No more than NGROUPS_UMAX groups may be specified as defined in <param.h>. -l new_logname Specify the new login name for the role. The new_logname argument is a string no more than eight bytes consisting of characters from the set of alpha- betic characters, numeric characters, period (.), underline (_), and hypen (-). The first character should be alphabetic and the field should contain at least one lower case alphabetic character. A warning message will be written if these restric- tions are not met. A future Solaris release may refuse to accept login fields that do not meet these requirements. The new_logname argument must contain at least one character and must not contain a colon (:) or NEWLINE (\n). -m Move the role's home directory to the new directory specified with the -d option. If the directory already exists, it must have permissions read/write/execute by group, where group is the role's primary group. -o This option allows the specified UID to be duplicated (non-unique). -P profile One or more comma-separated execution profiles defined in auth_attr(4). This replaces any existing profile setting. -s shell Specify the full pathname of the program that is used as the role's shell on login. The value of shell must be a valid executable file. SunOS 5.8 Last change: 9 Sep 1999 2 Maintenance Commands rolemod(1M) -u uid Specify a new UID for the role. It must be a non- negative decimal integer less than MAXUID as defined in <param.h>. The UID associated with the role's home directory is not modified with this option; a role will not have access to their home directory until the UID is manually reassigned using chown(1M).OPERANDS
The following operands are supported: login An existing login name to be modified. EXIT STATUS In case of an error, rolemod prints an error message and exits with one of the following values: 2 The command syntax was invalid. A usage message for the rolemod command is displayed. 3 An invalid argument was provided to an option. 4 The uid given with the -u option is already in use. 5 The password files contain an error. pwconv(1M) can be used to correct possible errors. See passwd(4). 6 The login to be modified does not exist, the group does not exist, or the login shell does not exist. 8 The login to be modified is in use. 9 The new_logname is already in use. 10 Cannot update the /etc/group or /etc/user_attr file. Other update requests will be implemented. 11 Insufficient space to move the home directory (-m option). Other update requests will be implemented. 12 Unable to complete the move of the home directory to the new home directory.FILES
