       usermod [Optionen] ANMELDENAME

BESCHREIBUNG

       The usermod command modifies the system account files to reflect the changes that are
       specified on the command line.

OPTIONEN

       The options which apply to the usermod command are:

       -a, --append
           Add the user to the supplementary group(s). Use only with the -G option.

       -b, --badnames
           Allow names that do not conform to standards.

       -c, --comment COMMENT
           The new value of the user's password file comment field. It is normally modified using
           the chfn(1) utility.

       -d, --home HOME_DIR
           das neue Home-Verzeichnis des Benutzers

           If the -m option is given, the contents of the current home directory will be moved to
           the new home directory, which is created if it does not already exist. If the current
           home directory does not exist the new home directory will not be created.

       -e, --expiredate EXPIRE_DATE
           The date on which the user account will be disabled. The date is specified in the
           format YYYY-MM-DD.

           An empty EXPIRE_DATE argument will disable the expiration of the account.

           This option requires a /etc/shadow file. A /etc/shadow entry will be created if there
           were none.

       -f, --inactive INACTIVE
           Die Anzahl von Tagen, nach denen ein Passwort abgelaufen ist, bis das Konto
           deaktiviert wird.

           Ein Wert von 0 deaktiviert das Konto, sobald das Passwort abläuft. Ein Wert von -1
           schaltet diese Funktion ab.

           This option requires a /etc/shadow file. A /etc/shadow entry will be created if there
           were none.

       -g, --gid GROUP
           Der Name oder die Zahl der anfänglichen Anmeldegruppe eines neuen Benutzers. Der
           Gruppenname muss existieren.

           Jede Datei im Home-Verzeichnis des Benutzers, die der alten Hauptgruppe des Benutzers
           gehörte, wird dieser neuen Gruppe gehören.

           Die Gruppenzugehörigkeit von Dateien außerhalb des Home-Verzeichnisses des Benutzers
           muss per Hand angepasst werden.

           The change of the group ownership of files inside of the user's home directory is also
           not done if the home dir owner uid is different from the current or new user id. This
           is a safety measure for special home directories such as /.

       -G, --groups GROUP1[,GROUP2,...[,GROUPN]]]
           A list of supplementary groups which the user is also a member of. Each group is
           separated from the next by a comma, with no intervening whitespace. The groups are
           subject to the same restrictions as the group given with the -g option.

           If the user is currently a member of a group which is not listed, the user will be
           removed from the group. This behaviour can be changed via the -a option, which appends
           the user to the current supplementary group list.

       -l, --login NEW_LOGIN
           The name of the user will be changed from LOGIN to NEW_LOGIN. Nothing else is changed.
           In particular, the user's home directory or mail spool should probably be renamed
           manually to reflect the new login name.

       -L, --lock
           Lock a user's password. This puts a '!' in front of the encrypted password,
           effectively disabling the password. You can't use this option with -p or -U.

           Note: if you wish to lock the account (not only access with a password), you should
           also set the EXPIRE_DATE to 1.

       -m, --move-home
           Move the content of the user's home directory to the new location. If the current home
           directory does not exist the new home directory will not be created.

           This option is only valid in combination with the -d (or --home) option.

           usermod will try to adapt the ownership of the files and to copy the modes, ACL and
           extended attributes, but manual changes might be needed afterwards.

       -o, --non-unique
           When used with the -u option, this option allows to change the user ID to a non-unique
           value.

       -p, --password PASSWORD
           The encrypted password, as returned by crypt(3).

           Note: This option is not recommended because the password (or encrypted password) will
           be visible by users listing the processes.

           The password will be written in the local /etc/passwd or /etc/shadow file. This might
           differ from the password database configured in your PAM configuration.

           Sie sollten sicherstellen, dass das Passwort den Passwortrichtlinien des Systems
           entspricht.

       -r, --remove
           Remove the user from named supplementary group(s). Use only with the -G option.

       -R, --root CHROOT_DIR
           Apply changes in the CHROOT_DIR directory and use the configuration files from the
           CHROOT_DIR directory.

       -P, --prefix PREFIX_DIR
           Apply changes in the PREFIX_DIR directory and use the configuration files from the
           PREFIX_DIR directory. This option does not chroot and is intended for preparing a
           cross-compilation target. Some limitations: NIS and LDAP users/groups are not
           verified. PAM authentication is using the host files. No SELINUX support.

       -s, --shell SHELL
           Der Pfad der neuen Anmelde-Shell des Benutzers. Falls dieses Feld leer gelassen wird,
           verwendet das System die Standard-Anmelde-Shell.

       -u, --uid UID
           der neue numerische Wert der UID des Benutzers

           This value must be unique, unless the -o option is used. The value must be
           non-negative.

           Für die Mailbox des Benutzers und alle Dateien, die ihm gehören und sich in seinem
           Home-Verzeichnis befinden, wird die ID des Eigentümers automatisch angepasst.

           Der Eigentümer von Dateien außerhalb des Home-Verzeichnisses des Benutzers muss per
           Hand angepasst werden.

           The change of the user ownership of files inside of the user's home directory is also
           not done if the home dir owner uid is different from the current or new user id. This
           is a safety measure for special home directories such as /.

           No checks will be performed with regard to the UID_MIN, UID_MAX, SYS_UID_MIN, or
           SYS_UID_MAX from /etc/login.defs.

       -U, --unlock
           Unlock a user's password. This removes the '!' in front of the encrypted password. You
           can't use this option with -p or -L.

           Note: if you wish to unlock the account (not only access with a password), you should
           also set the EXPIRE_DATE (for example to 99999, or to the EXPIRE value from
           /etc/default/useradd).

       -v, --add-subuids FIRST-LAST
           Add a range of subordinate uids to the user's account.

           This option may be specified multiple times to add multiple ranges to a users account.

           No checks will be performed with regard to SUB_UID_MIN, SUB_UID_MAX, or SUB_UID_COUNT
           from /etc/login.defs.

       -V, --del-subuids FIRST-LAST
           Remove a range of subordinate uids from the user's account.

           This option may be specified multiple times to remove multiple ranges to a users
           account. When both --del-subuids and --add-subuids are specified, the removal of all
           subordinate uid ranges happens before any subordinate uid range is added.

           No checks will be performed with regard to SUB_UID_MIN, SUB_UID_MAX, or SUB_UID_COUNT
           from /etc/login.defs.

       -w, --add-subgids FIRST-LAST
           Add a range of subordinate gids to the user's account.

           This option may be specified multiple times to add multiple ranges to a users account.

           No checks will be performed with regard to SUB_GID_MIN, SUB_GID_MAX, or SUB_GID_COUNT
           from /etc/login.defs.

       -W, --del-subgids FIRST-LAST
           Remove a range of subordinate gids from the user's account.

           This option may be specified multiple times to remove multiple ranges to a users
           account. When both --del-subgids and --add-subgids are specified, the removal of all
           subordinate gid ranges happens before any subordinate gid range is added.

           No checks will be performed with regard to SUB_GID_MIN, SUB_GID_MAX, or SUB_GID_COUNT
           from /etc/login.defs.

       -Z, --selinux-user SEUSER
           der neue SELinux-Benutzer für den Anmeldenamen des Benutzers

           A blank SEUSER will remove the SELinux user mapping for user LOGIN (if any).

WARNUNGEN

       You must make certain that the named user is not executing any processes when this command
       is being executed if the user's numerical user ID, the user's name, or the user's home
       directory is being changed. usermod checks this on Linux. On other platforms it only uses
       utmp to check if the user is logged in.

       You must change the owner of any crontab files or at jobs manually.

       Sie müssen alle Änderung in Bezug auf NIS auf dem NIS-Server vornehmen.
