|
|
|
|
.TP
|
|
\fIpw_passwd\fR

This field will be ignored for shadow passwords if the user already exists\&.
|
|
|
|
.TP
|
|
\fIpw_gid\fR
|
|
This field may be the name of an existing group, in which case the named user will be added as a member\&. If a non\-existent numerical group is given, a new group will be created having this number\&.
|
|
|
|
.TP
|
|
\fIpw_dir\fR
|
|
This field will be checked for existence as a directory and a new directory with the same name will be created if it does not already exist\&. The ownership of the directory will be set to be that of the user being created or updated\&.
