PAMMySQL Tools is a suite to manage users for pam_mysql and libnss-mysql. It tries to mimic the behaviours of the linux tools user{add,mod,del} and group{add,mod,del}
To install simply run:
pip install PAMMySQLTools
This will install the scripts:
- myuseradd
- myusermod
- myuserdel
- mygroupadd
- mygroupmod
- mygroupdel
In the directory docs you can find an example config with
all everything set. If you don't set a value, the tools will assume the
values in the original config as default values.
To display help for any of the scripts, start with the --help parameter
For example:
$ myuseradd --help
