Set Up Users and Groups

In this chapter we'll cover the basics of users on HP-UX systems. Topics such as users, groups, permissions, Virtual Partitions (vPars) and users, and NIS will be covered.

You need to make a few basic decisions about users. Where should users' data be located? Who needs to access data from whom, thereby defining “groups” of users? What kind of particular startup is required by users and applications? Is there a shell that your users prefer?
