Hi
Can anyone tell me either how to create a pw.conf file or where to find the
documentation that would. I have man ed pw and pw.conf and I seem to be
missing something.
What I am trying to do is use the following comand within a perl script to
add a user.
"/usr/sbin/pw useradd -d $dir -m -s $shell -u $uid -n $username",
("echo $password | /usr/sbin/pw usermod $username -h fd")
It adds the user but will not insert the password bur rather inserts a *
instead
The pw command works, but I have no pw.conf file. Can anyone tell me where
it would be reading its defaults from.
thanks
Tim
