Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Hi, I am wondering if it is possible to add users using a shell script. I am currently setting up a FreeBSD file server with SAMBA in a local high school, which has around 1000 computer students (in various classes). I figured that it would be a pain in the butt to manually add 1000 users and create 1000 dirs. In addition, is there anyway to increase the 8-lower-case letter username limitation? My current FreeBSD system is 2.2.8 with Samba 1.9.18p10. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance.
