PAMMySQL Tools

PAMMySQL Tools ist 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}

Installation

To install simply run:

pip install PAMMySQLTools

This will install the scripts:

• myuseradd
• myusermod
• myuserdel
• mygroupadd
• mygroupmod
• mygroupdel

Configuration

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
