Account Management

In order to have an extra level of security, pyBlog uses a separate program to manage user accounts. To use it, run accounts.py. It is a command-line based tool with only four commands.

create_user <name>

This commands adds a new user named <name>. You will be prompted to enter a password for this user; what is typed into the prompt will not be echoed to the screen. You will then verify the password by typing it again. If everything goes well, the prompt will say so.

remove_user <name>

This will remove <name> as a user. You will have to verify you want to remove them by answering yes at the appropriate prompt. If you do verify you want to remove the user, then they will be completely removed as a user.

list_users

This command will list all the usernames.

exit

This will exit the program.
