Laboratorio 2 de curso Linux

Instructions
Case Scenario
In the User Management challenge lab, you were tasked with creating users
and groups. Using the commands one at a time from the command line can
be a tedious process and could lead to potential errors in syntax. It is your
duty, as an administrator, to make the process as seamless and efficient as
possible.

Objectives
Create a bash script to perform user management tasks as outlined below:

 Create a new group. Each group must have a unique name. The
script must check to ensure that no duplicate group names
exist on the system. If a duplicate is found, an error needs to be
reported, and the administrator must try another group name.
 Create a new user. Each user must have a unique name. The
script must check to ensure that no duplicate usernames exist
on the system. If a duplicate is found, an error needs to be
reported and the administrator must try another username. The
user will have a Bash login shell and belong to the group that
was created in the previous step.
 Create a password for each user that is created.
 Ensure that the new user created is a member of the new group
created.
 Create a directory at the root / of the file system with same
name as the user created.
 Set the ownership of the directory to the user and group
created.
 Set the permissions of the directory to full control for the owner
and full control for the group created.
 Set the permissions to ensure that only the owner of a file can
delete it from the directory.
 Ensure that the script is executable.

This script should be designed to accept any username and any group
name.DO NOT hardcode commands to create specific usernames and group
names.

Hints
 Logical order is important.
 There is a special wildcard that can be used to determine if the
previous command is successful or not. This will be useful for
this script.

Curriculum Resources
 Module 9 – Basic Scripting
 Module 14 – Create a New User
 Module 15 – Ownership and Permissions

Deliverables
 Execute the script for the instructor. Create a new unique user
and new unique group.
 Execute the script for the instructor. Show the error when a
duplicate user or duplicate group are created.
