User Management (Wheezy)

At best, there's me, and one or two people I'm training, who actually have shell access.

So I make my user settings pretty global.

Users and Groups

Some of this stuff is discussed in various relevant sections as well.

addgroup --gid 70 wheel
addgroup --gid 72 hugepager
addgroup --gid 999 vmail
useradd -d /var/vmail -s /usr/sbin/nologin -g 999 -r -u 999 --disabled-password --gecos "" vmail
usermod -a -G adm,cdrom,audio,src,staff,games,users,wheel adminusernamehere
usermod -a -G wheel root

Adding wheel to root for stuff like ninja.

/etc/bash.bashrc

# Enable completion
shopt -s histappend
HISTCONTROL=ignoreboth
HISTFILESIZE=65536
HISTSIZE=256
# There is a point at which either just typing it
# again or looking through the file is more productive...

/etc/profile.d/ls.sh

# Colors and aliasing
# Prefer to set this up as an 'include' instead. Easier to make
# alias changes that I may be using across a large number of accounts.
# Check for interactive bash
[ -z "$BASH_VERSION" -o -z "$PS1" ] && return
if [ -x /usr/bin/dircolors ]; then
    test -r ~/.dircolors && eval "$(dircolors -b ~/.dircolors)" || eval "$(dircolors -b)"
    alias ls='ls --color=auto -A'
    alias l='ls --color=auto -la'
else
    alias ls='ls -A'
    alias l='ls -la'
fi

Default /etc/skel

mkdir /etc/skel/.ssh
touch /etc/skel/authorized_keys
chmod 640 /etc/skel/.bash_logout /etc/skel/.bashrc /etc/skel/.profile /etc/skel/.toprc /etc/skel/.ssh/authorized_keys
chmod 750 /etc/skel/.ssh/ /etc/skel/

I also add my own public key to authorized_keys here.

/etc/skel/.toprc

RCfile for "top with windows"           # shameless braggin'

        winflags=62777, sortindx=4, maxtasks=0
        summclr=3, msgsclr=3, headclr=2, taskclr=3

I am addicted to my personal top settings. Maybe should see a therapist.

/etc/skel/.bashrc

# ~/.bashrc: executed by bash(1) for non-login shells.
# see /usr/share/doc/bash/examples/startup-files (in the package bash-doc)
# for examples
# If not running interactively, don't do anything
case $- in
    *i*) ;;
      *) return;;
esac
# Alias definitions.
# You may want to put all your additions into a separate file like
# ~/.bash_aliases, instead of adding them here directly.
# See /usr/share/doc/bash-doc/examples in the bash-doc package.
if [ -f ~/.bash_aliases ]; then
    . ~/.bash_aliases
fi
# Get your fortune cookie!
# Place here so user can nuke/edit as desired.
# Probably should fix cowsay to handle line breaks better.
if [ -f /usr/games/fortune ]; then
  if [ -f /usr/games/cowsay ]; then
    /usr/games/fortune -a | /usr/games/cowsay -W 75 -p
  else
    /usr/games/fortune -a
  fi
fi

/root/.bashrc

While I copy other skeleton files to root/admin users, a separate .bashrc file is nice even if some of the reason for it is legacy. The talking cow does get a bit annoying bouncing in and out of root all the time.

# ~/.bashrc: executed by bash(1) for non-login shells.
#When restarting mysql, the memlock value gets taken from root's limits, so if we
#are more restrictive, hugepage allocation will fail.
ulimit -l 33554432
ulimit -n 65536
# If not running interactively, don't do anything further
case $- in
    *i*) ;;
      *) return;;
esac
# Alias definitions.
# You may want to put all your additions into a separate file like
# ~/.bash_aliases, instead of adding them here directly.
# See /usr/share/doc/bash-doc/examples in the bash-doc package.
if [ -f ~/.bash_aliases ]; then
    . ~/.bash_aliases
fi

/etc/webskel

A web skeleton file to help simplify site deployment.

cp -R /etc/skel /etc/webskel
mkdir /etc/webskel/logs
mkdir /etc/webskel/docs
mkdir /etc/webskel/priv
touch /etc/webskel/.viminfo
chmod 640 /etc/webskel/.viminfo
chmod 750 /etc/webskel/logs /etc/webskel/docs /etc/webskel/priv

/etc/webskel/.ssh/authorized_keys
- add no-agent-forwarding,no-port-forwarding,no-pty,no-user-rc,no-X11-forwarding before ssh-rsa for each key, as well as when you add user keys.

cp /etc/adduser.conf /etc/webuser.conf

/etc/webuser.conf:
- DSHELL=/usr/sbin/nologin
- SKEL=/etc/webskel
