Eugene Grosbein 293ff98462 MFC: pw(8): fix combination of modes -N and -w random The command "pw usermod nobody -Nw random" (or useradd) generates random password and prints it in encrypted form but skips choosen random string that makes not much sense and contradicts the manual page pw.8 Fix it by showing random password in plain text with -N and without it equally. Add yet another example of how to generate pw-style random password. (cherry picked from commit `1cbe5012cf`)		2022-12-12 10:11:20 +07:00

README

pw is a command-line driven passwd/group editor utility that provides
an easy and safe means of modifying of any/all fields in the system
password files, and has an add, modify and delete mode for user and
group records. Command line options have been fashioned to be similar
to those used by the Sun/shadow commands: useradd, usermod, userdel,
groupadd, groupmod, groupdel, but combines all operations within the
single command `pw'.

User add mode also provides a means of easily setting system useradd
defaults (see pw.conf.5), so that adding a user is as easy as issuing
the command "pw useradd <loginid>". Creation of a unique primary
group for each user and automatic membership in secondary groups
is fully supported.

This program may be FreeBSD specific, but should be trivial to port to
other bsd4.4 variants.
