Okay, the tools I'm thinking about are definitely not going to be standard, as they need perl 5.002 and the Tk extensions. This is 8 Mb+ libs and binaries on the disk. As to what Jordan said, I can only agree with him: the issue here is to have a simple, customizable program to add users. If it offers front-end as well as command line manipulation so much for the better. Perl only got suggested because it's what the original is written in. Also, Ollivier Robert already suggested bringing in his replacement. I'd be more than happy to document it, we'd just need somebody to review it. -- Phil -- +-------------------+---------------------------------------+-----------------+ | Philippe Regnauld |_______Herve Schauer Consultants_______| regnauld@hsc.fr | +-------------------+FreeBSD - Turning PCs into Workstations+-----------------+
