RHCSA RHEL 8 - Create, delete, and modify local user accounts

[@Franchyze923]

Thanks! I find it odd that passwords for users are not set up at the same time a user is created.

Perfect

How do I import a user from a server?

[@compsecgadgets]

Only way I would suggest is using something like NFS? Is this what you mean?

[@Nerd2Ninja]

Passwords in etc/shadow are encrypted? Why is it encrypted instead of hashed? The system could take your password attempt, hash it, and check if the hash is correct. That's what web servers do.
