Description

I re-submitted my provider this morning with the changes to the test that Luke requested.

The provider is needed because on HP-UX regular usermod/userdel will refuse to make changes to a user that’s logged in. However, the system also provides undocumented binaries that don’t have that restriction. My provider uses those binaries.

If more info is needed, let me know.

Luke – happy?

We discovered a problem with this today. It should use the regular /usr/sbin/useradd command instead of the special one. I’m happy to fix and resubmit, or not… whatever you guys want.

James and I talked about this. The special usermod ignores ‘-m’ so simply using the regular /usr/sbin/usermod works just fine. He said he’d make the change and check it in for 0.24.6.
