Hiya, Im trying to have the passwords on our FreeBSD boxen created by a perl script. Currently... the username/pass pairs are stored in a MySQL database. Easy enough to get them, but does anyone know a perl method of creating them in /etc/passwd? I know getpwent grabs values - im looking for a putpwent if there is such a thing and in the encrypted password form :) thanks in advance to anyone who can help. -- Jamie Heckford Network Manager Trident Microsystems Ltd Tel: 01737 780790 Fax: 01737 771908 http://www.tridentmicrosystems.co.uk *********** This e-mail message contains confidential information for the above addressee only.
