In /opt/csuite/private, you'll find eight files that control how logins,
UNIX numerical user IDs, and Information Provider numbers are chosen. The
first four are probably all that you're interested in:
-r--r--r-- 1 http csuite 69 May 16 20:32 login-prefix
-r--r--r-- 1 http csuite 3992 May 16 20:32 login-suffix
-rw-rw-r-- 1 root http 2 May 16 20:32 prefix-ptr
-rw-rw-r-- 1 root http 2 May 24 22:28 suffix-ptr
For a login like aa999, prefix means aa-zz, and suffix means 001-999.
prefix-ptr and suffix-ptr contain the number of the line of
login-prefix and login-suffix to use when naming the next
user. login-prefix and login-suffix are numbered so that the first line is
line number one.
You'll first have to add new entries to login-prefix, since it only goes
up to az by default:
perl -e '
foreach $i ("b".."h", "j", "k", "m", "n", "p".."z") {
foreach $j ("b".."h", "j", "k", "m", "n", "p".."z") {
print "$i$j\n"
}
}' >> login-prefix
Now bump suffix-ptr up to 47, and the next login will start with 'cc'.
The files that determine numerical UIDs and Information Provider names
are:
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 143988 May 16 20:32 uid-list
-rw-r--r-- 1 http csuite 2 May 24 22:28 uid-ptr
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 4995 May 16 20:32 ip-list
-rw-rw-r-- 1 root http 2 May 24 22:39 ip-ptr

You'll have to edit your crontab to run it more frequently. We have it set
to run every ten minutes on one system, with a slight modification to
$CS_ROOT/cronbin/csuite-cron so perfmon (performance statistics) are only
gathered if "$minute" is 00, 01, or 02.
You can run $CS_ROOT/cronbin/csuite-cron from a shell as root at any time.
