Configuring Groups and Users

You must configure groups and users for the Cisco HSI on each host server. A user must be a member
of the "mgcgrp" group to use certain Cisco HSI functions, such as Man-Machine Language (MML).
To configure groups and users, complete the following steps:
Log in as root.
Step 1
At the # prompt, enter the following commands:
Step 2
# mkdir -p /export/home/users/mgcusr
# mkdir /export/BUILDS
# mkdir /export/PATCHES
# cd /export/home/users
# groupadd -g 20000 mgcgrp
# useradd -u 20001 -g 20000 -d /export/home/users/mgcusr -s /bin/csh mgcusr
# chown mgcusr:mgcgrp mgcusr
# passwd mgcusr <type password twice>
(Enter and confirm password)
Step 3 Log out, then log in as user mgcusr, using the password you applied in Step 2.
Step 4 Verify that you are in directory /export/home/users/mgcusr by entering the following command:
# pwd
