As a few of you were asking about my script, here it is... There is NO
warranty of any kind on this script but as many of you will realize
there isn't that much to it...:)
open(input,"userlist");
while (<input>) {
($username,$password)=split(' ',$_,9999);
system ("echo $password | pw useradd $username -h 0 -g users -s
/bin/date");
}
close(input);
This will add users from a file that looks like this (filename is
userlist):
username password
username2 password2
username3 password3
The user will belong to a group called users (-g) and a shell of
/bin/date (-s)
Please test this script before using to make sure it works on your
system... I'm not liable for trashed password files etc...:) It works
fine on our systems here and we use it every few months. We also use a
Linux based version for some older machines there.....
Thanks,
Paul
