Two variables, %uold and + %unew, will be substituted with the old and new usernames, respectively. The script should + return 0 upon successful completion, and nonzero otherwise. + + + + The script has all responsibility to rename all the necessary data that is accessible in this posix method. + This can mean different requirements for different backends. The tdbsam and smbpasswd backends will take care + of the contents of their respective files, so the script is responsible only for changing the POSIX username, and + other data that may required for your circumstances, such as home directory. Please also consider whether or + not you need to rename the actual home directories themselves. The ldapsam backend will not make any changes, + because of the potential issues with renaming the LDAP naming attribute. In this case the script is + responsible for changing the attribute that samba uses (uid) for locating users, as well as any data that + needs to change for other applications using the same directory. + + + + +no + -- cgit
