Using LUM Utilities at the Command Prompt
Novell Linux User Management includes utilities for creating new LUM-enabled users, and for
enabling existing eDirectory users for Linux access.
The nambulkadd utility lets you use a text editor to create a list of users you want enabled for
Linux access. For more information, see "nambulkadd" in the
Management Technology
IMPORTANT: Be sure to include a blank line at the end of each text file. Otherwise, the last
line of the file won't be processed properly.
The namuseradd utility lets you create a single LUM-enabled user or enable an existing
eDirectory user for Linux access. For more information, see "namuseradd" in the
Novell Linux User Management Technology
15.3 Identity Management Services
Providing network users with a network identity is a fundamental expectation for networking, but it
can also become confusing when users need to track multiple identities to use network services.
When you add the traditional POSIX users found on Linux systems to the mix, the picture becomes
even more complex.
The identity management services provided by Novell Open Enterprise Server (OES) leverage
Novell eDirectory to simplify and customize identity management to fit your needs:
If you currently store and manage all your users and groups in eDirectory, you can continue to
do so.
If you use Novell Client software to provide network file and print services, you can now
provide seamless file and print access to OES 2 servers by using the NCP server for Linux and
iPrint services. For more information, see
Maintenance," on page 200
If you want eDirectory users to have access to OES 2 services that require POSIX
authentication, you can enable the users for Linux access. For more information, see
Section 15.2, "Linux User Management: Access to Linux for eDirectory Users," on page
If you need to store and manage users in multiple directories, you can greatly strengthen your
organization's security and dramatically decrease your identity management costs by deploying
Novell Identity Manager. For more information, see
