Hi
I know this isn't exactly a Trinity-centric question but it will
eventually apply to it as I switch from KDE3 to TDE. So please bare
with me.
Does anyone have any experience with SED and PAM?
I need to replace the default admin user (arklinux) with 2 new users.
I normally use sed -i -e 's,arklinux,NewUser,g' /etc/pam.d/* to change
the admin user in PAM.
How to a pose it so it adds two more users?
Something like this?
$ sed -i.bak -e 's/\(.*\)arklinux\(.*\)/\1NewUser1\2\
\1NewUser2\2/' /etc/pam.d/*
The obvious limitation on that is it will probably only work where arklinux
appears once on a line. Multiple occurrences would need a bit more
thought.
Test carefully before use and note the -i.bak to backup the originals in
case of mistakes.
