Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Hi How many accounts am I able to put on one system, and what's the best method of making 700 accounts, with numbers from 1 to 700? (and e.g. the passwords for users 1-100 disabled, 101-200 something like "safe", and so on?) The gecos field can be the user number (, but is there also a simple method to take the names from a database? (e.g. file with number:name)) -= Paul =- __ _ / |_| | / _ \ Paul Dekkers (paul@nev.ml.org) | o o `. _ | O |_| | discover Atomic Infinity!!! `.___/ | | | http://library.advanced.org/12082/ /` \
