User1: Okay, I just started renting a dedicated server and have been given a block of 5 ip addresses, 1 of which is actually set up.  How do I set up my server to work on additional IPs?
User2: where can I find some nagios howto's ?
User3: When I run "adduser", it collects the following information about a new user: {Name, Room Number, Work Phone, Home Phone, Other} stores it in a comma-delimited fashion in /etc/passwd.  Where can I add or subtract items from that list?  I want to only collect the user's name.
User4: easy
User4: cut -d: -f5 /etc/passwd | cut -d\, -f1
User4: or you could play with sed
User4: god, awk :)
User5: User4 that isnt the question
User5: User4 he wants to know how to modify add user to only take their name
User4: right, sorry
User3: Is there an easy configuration file for this stuff
User5: User3 there is an /etc/adduser.conf
User5: but it isnt what you need, give me a sec
User3: I don't that convers it,
User4: maybe you could combine something with adduser --gecos
User4: login.defs
User4: CHFN_RESTRICT (string)
User4: This parameter specifies which values in the gecos field of the /etc/passwd file may be changed by regular users using the chfn
User5: beat me to it
User5: I was just going to say CHFN
User4: :p
