In this procedure, you edit the passwd file from a Windows NT or Windows 95 workstation or a UNIX/NFS client using a text editor. The format for entries in the passwd file is as follows:
username:password:gid:uid:full name:default shell
Complete the following steps to add entries to the passwd file.
| Step | Action |
|---|---|
| 1 | In a text editor, open the passwd file from the /etc directory of the default filer volume. |
| 2 | Add an entry for each user who needs to access files. Leave the password and default shell fields empty. The filer does not use them when users are authenticated by a Windows NT domain controller or NIS. |
| 3 | Save the file and exit the text editor. |
| 4 | Continue with "Adding entries to the group file." |
