1.

There may be equivalents to "pkg which" in some of the other package managers.

2.

"pw useradd" is not a straight exchange for shadow-utils useradd.

The very annoying gotcha (which means that one cannot just write a pw() shell function that strips the command name) is that they do not agree on whether the options come before or after the username argument.

#FreeBSD #pw #pkg #useradd #dpkg

Hint: use adduser, which is perl wrapper around useradd when working interactively and useradd from scripts, as it is more portable.

(And if you’re setting up a server in an automated fashion, let cloud-init, etc., handle it for you.)

#linux #userAdd #addUser #cloudInit #server #setup #interactive #scripted

Passwords for what, precisely? Who told you not to use p/ws. We're pretty sure you should still use p/ws

Setup another login for other persons. Don't give them read access to important files? On Unix the command to add a user is something like #useradd.

Maybe don't include that user in the group called #wheel, 'wheel' allows them to use #sudo/#superUserDo/root etc.

Its been a long time since we did this though so if someone else has any ideas/improvements then please help here.
