I would need it in a different server to create all the home directories.
Kindly provide a different script for that. --- On Tue, 8/19/08, Anirban Adhikary <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: From: Anirban Adhikary <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Re: Script neeed for creating home directories for each student!!

Regards Anirban Adhikary. use strict; use warnings; my($a,$b); my $uidNumber=2631; my $gidNumber=2631; open(FH,"/home/anadhikary/perl/sourcefile"); open(FH1,">>/home/anadhikary/perl/destinationfile"); while(<FH>) { ($a,$b)=split(/\s+/,$_); my $homedir = "/mnt/btech/$a"; print FH1 "\n"; print FH1 "dn: uid=$a,ou=student,dc=nits,dc=ac,dc=in\n"; print FH1 "uid: $a\n"; print FH1 "cn: $a\n"; print FH1 "objectClass: account\n"; print FH1 "objectClass: posixAccount\n"; print FH1 "objectClass: top\n"; print FH1 "objectClass: shadowAccount\n"; print FH1 "userPassword: {crypt}$b\n"; print FH1 "loginShell: /bin/bash\n"; print FH1 "uidNumber: $uidNumber\n"; print FH1 "gidNumber: $gidNumber\n"; print FH1 "homeDirectory: $homedir\n"; print FH1 "shadowLastChange:13458\n"; print FH1 "shadowMin: 0\n"; print FH1 "shadowMax: 999999\n"; print FH1 "shadowWarning: 7\n"; $uidNumber +=1; $gidNumber +=1; `mkdir "$homedir"; chmod 700 "$homedir";` if(! -e $homedir); } close(FH); close(FH1); another way is do the home directory creating job in another script use strict; use warnings; open(FH,"/home/anadhikary/perl/sourcefile"); while(<FH>) { ($a,$b)=split(/\s+/,$_); my $homedir = "/mnt/btech/$a"; `mkdir "$homedir"; chmod 700 "$homedir";` if(! -e $homedir); } close(FH); On Tue, Aug 19, 2008 at 6:29 PM, Jyotishmaan Ray <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: Thank you Anirban. Also do you any script for creating the home directories in a server machine for 424 students in the path : /mnt/btech/uid, where uid = s08-1-5-097 for the same file read, as before. All the students must have all permissions to read, write and execute in their home directories. Can you send me that. I am also trying. In the earlier case, i had just done to the point of file reading and writing. It was amazingly written. --- On Tue, 8/19/08, Anirban Adhikary <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: From: Anirban Adhikary <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Re: Perl Script Needed Urgently.!! To: beginners@perl.org Date: Tuesday, August 19, 2008, 3:18 PM Hi Jyotishmaan Ray U can do the task in the following way but there may be some other good and compact way. The source file is the file where uid and user password are written but one thing in the source file u need to keep uid and user passwd in the same line. like this s08-1-5-093 $1$2P6e6UmE$X71iU1QF6it6oxalIPqMS/ s08-1-5-094 $1$2P6e6UmE$R37ySEfe5JPjRTmdIo2xf. s08-1-5-095 $1$2P6e6UmE$VKlXe6lSoXr4aWBmuSn6u/ s08-1-5-096 $1$2P6e6UmE$H7Q3Thg4KQKeuAvOsffp8. s08-1-5-097 $1$2P6e6UmE$ZewMWmNBQ0ghQ9l/OK0Ft/ u
