CDE vs. /etc/passwd, /etc/shadow and /etc/group

CDE vs. /etc/passwd, /etc/shadow and /etc/group

Post by Amir J. Ka » Tue, 03 Sep 1996 04:00:00



Hi,
Can anybody tell me what happens to the /etc/passwd, /etc/shadow and
/etc/group when DCE is installed?
I've seen images of these files and seems like CDE adds users & groups
with funny names like 'hosts/machine/group' and
'subsys/dce/dts-servers'.

If this is the case, how do the Solaris commands (useradd/mod/del,
passwd, etc.) get along with these weird users/groups?

Thanks,
