Users
A user should be added to improve security of the system.
# useradd <user>
Configure a password for the user:
# passwd <user>
The user may be added to certain groups, to give it some rights.
# usermod -aG wheel,audio,video,kvm,tty,input,storage <user>
The package sudo that is present in the base-system package will be removed. Since, it is bloatware. To persist this. That is sudo will not be installed ever again on the system. Edit /etc/xbps.d/xbps.conf and insert:
ignorepkg=sudo
Then remove sudo.
# xbps-remove -Ry sudo
The sudo package will be replaced by opendoas. To install it:
# xbps-install -Sy opendoas
Symlink it to /bin/sudo so that applications which require root can still be granted by the user.
# ln -s /bin/doas /bin/sudo
And edit /etc/doas.conf to give users in the wheel group access to the doas command.
permit persist :wheel as root
To finalize this section, the .bashrc and .bash_profile configuration files will be copied to the home space of the user.
$ cp {config-files-repo}/bash/.bashrc .bashrc
$ cp {config-files-repo}/bash/.bash_profile .bash_profile
User directories
It is generally beneficial to set default user directories. To obtain some consistency in the home directory. This may be obtained with the xdg-user-dirs package.
It may be installed with.
# xbps-install -Sy xdg-user-dirs
then run:
$ xdg-user-dirs-update
This will create a whole suite of default user directories and in .config it will create user-dirs.dirs and user-dirs.locale.
With .config/user-dirs.dirs the syntax of of the directories may be set.
$ cp {config-files-repo}/xdg-user-dirs/user-dirs.dirs .config/
Then to persist the modifications.
$ xdg-user-dirs-update
