AES 4.2 - rmbuseradd is "not found"

[cycledick]

Installing first AES 4.2 on the Dell PowerEdge 1950. Install was uneventful, but the "rmbuseradd -P y login" command just returns a "bash: rmbuseradd: command not found" error. The 4.2 documents say to use the rmbuseradd command, but I can't find it anywhere.

Anyone know how you add a PPP login to AES 4.2?

When I log in as craft I type rmbuseadd and I get the following:

[craft@XXXXXXXXXX ~]$ rmbuseradd
usage: rmbuseradd [-u uid [-o]]
                [-d home] [-s shell] [-p passwd] [-P y|n] name

I didn't have to do anything special. This is a 4.0.1 however.

Got it! I'm sure this can't possibly be the "right" way to do this, but it works. I don't know if they changed it on 4.2.1 or what, but it works.

Create a login in the OAM Administration -> Security Administration -> Account Management -> Add Login screen (using whatever login name you want, "remotelogin" for this example. You have to change the "Default Login Group" to say "remote" (no quotes). "Allow Linux Shell Access" needs to be checked. Set the password for whatever you want.

Then login via SSH, "su sroot" then type in the following;

usermod -s '/bin/bash -c "echo Start PPP now; /usr/sbin/pppd file /etc/ppp/options"' remotelogin

The very last word "remotelogin" should be the same as whatever login you created in the OAM administration part.

Like I said, I'm sure that's not the easy way to do it, but it works.
