HP-UX 11i Version 2 Release Notes (October 2003)

Commands and System Calls
HP-UX Commands
Chapter 8
193
Summary of Change
In trusted mode operation, the groupadd, groupdel, groupmod, useradd, userdel,
usermod commands now write audit records into the audit subsystem’s audit trail. This
is required for “Common Criteria.” (More information on “Common Criteria” can be
found at http://www.commoncriteria.org.)
By default the useradd command will not change the ownership of the home directory
(shared home directory or an existing directory) and the underlying files for the new user
being added. However, a new option, -r, has been added for the useradd command to set
or unset this behavior.
Impact
The groupadd, groupdel, groupmod, useradd, userdel, usermod commands are now
self-auditing.
If you want useradd to change the ownership of a home directory that already exists,
you can set this behavior by using the -r option to specify the default behavior of the
useradd command. Refer to the useradd (1M) manpage for more details.
Compatibility
There are no compatibility issues.
Performance
There are no performance issues.
Documentation
The manpage for audit (5) has been modified to mention groupadd, groupdel, groupmod,
useradd, userdel, usermod as self-auditing commands.
The manpage for useradd (1M) has been modified to document the functionality of the
new option -r, as well as the behavior of the useradd command.
Obsolescence
Not applicable.
The psrset Command
The psrset utility controls the management of processor sets.
Summary of Change
The kernel now supports Real Time Extension to processor sets in HP-UX 11i v2, and
psrset has been enhanced to manage the RTE processor set.
The following new options have been added for RTE processor set:
-l Lists all the processor sets that are configured as RTE processor set.
-m pset_id Marks a processor set with the identification number, pset_id, as an
RTE processor set.
