Handling UNIX User Passwords

ConsoleOne-Based Administration

NFS group names also have identification numbers. The range of numbers is
between 0 and 65,535, with the numbers 0 through 99 reserved. The GID
identifies the user as a member of the primary group identified by that GID.
User Home Directories
The home directory is the absolute pathname of the user's home directory on
UNIX machines.
User Preferred Shells
The shell information identifies the path of the shell program that runs when
the UNIX user logs in to the system. You can set the login account to run any
program when a user logs in to the system, but the program typically creates
an operating system working environment.
The current implementation does not migrate the existing UNIX password
field in the password map.
Before migrating the users and groups, remove the password field ("*", "x",
or "!") from the corresponding text file and then migrate. After doing this, you
can set the UNIX password from the UNIX machine. This is done by making
the UNIX machine an NIS client to the NetWare machine, logging in as that
NIS user and running an NIS client utility named YPPASWD to set the UNIX
password.
