Content-Type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-15 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG I am having trouble finding the command line option to enter the password when creating a new user with FreeBSD 3.2, and will have to implement this with 3.3 as well. I am using a Perl script to make the system call and would prefer to have it all in one line rather than prompt me to enter the password and confirm it. The data validation will have been done before it gets to this point. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
