This chapter provides a reference for all the command-line utilities included with Sauron. All these utilities have built-in help, which can be displayed by invoking them with single argument --help (these utilities use GNU style long options).

These utilities are meant for Sauron administrators and do not implement any access control methods. To protect unauthorized access into Sauron database, restrict access to the database in PostgreSQL (and don't forget to restrict access to the Sauron configuration file if it contains sensitive information such as database password).

addgroup

This command is used to add a new user group. User groups can be used to simplify user privilege management by assigning privileges to a group and then assigning users to that group.

addgroup [--help] [--group=name] [--name=longname]

This command can be used interactively when run without any arguments, or in patch mode by specifying both --group and --name arguments on command-line.
