Yeah. Look at pwd.h file for C references (although I could be wrong on that) do a "man useradd" for a shell-based way of doing it. Me, I'd do it in shell (ksh is my shell of choice, although it should be simple enough) I'd be more then glad to help you offline in private messages in writing a script that does it - I've had to do something similar at work. | -----Original Message----- | From: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG | [mailto:owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG]On Behalf Of notme | Sent: Thursday, April 15, 1999 15:38 | To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org | Subject: adduser from shell script or C/Perl progarm. | | | 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).
