---++ Adding Users

New users on the cluster will now be registered in the himrod-domain Active Directory on himrod.cs. 

The command add-himrod-user adds a user in Active Directory. Several arguments are required by this sccript, each of which must be a contiguous string *without* spaces.

As an example:

# add-himrod-user -e ldpaniak@uwaterloo.ca -n Lori -s Paniak -S CSCF -P admin -E 0 ldpaniak
Where the flags are:

	-e email

	-n firstName

	-s surname

	-S sponsor (who OK'd this account? E.g. CSCF, hdesterck)

	-P projectName 

	-E expiryDate (Format YYYYMMDD. After this date, the account will expire and need admin intervention to re-enable. Note that 0=never/30000AD.)

---++ Changing User Passwords

Note that these accounts are *not* usual unix/pam accounts.  Changing passwords requires Samba tools. After an account is created, changing a user's password (as that user) requires running:

# samba-tool user password
