Folks, I'm migrating an ISP's NT e-mail server to FreeBSD 3.1. They've provided user info including: login ID, full name, passwd I've set up the script using my FreeBSD 2.8 system to create the adduser script which looks like: adduser -batch test4 '' '' 'MR. TEST' qwerty7 Works great on 2.8 and creates a record like this: test4:$1$Yk404UY5$vsmNN4Ah1sLVZyHX.NEok1:1024:15::0:0:MR. TEST:/home/test4:/bin/csh. I tried running he script on the 3.1 machine and got a: '-batch no longer supported' error message. I was originally going to use 'pw', but not not understand how to use it to set a passwd. Am I overlooking this option? HELP, I don't want to do this by hand and could sure use some advice on how to programatically make these users. Thanks, Joe S.
