Got a perl script that makes accounts from a text base list.
input =
firstname,lastname,group,(.forward add)
firstname2,lastname2,group,(.forward add if exist)
..
output =
Firstname Lastname user="user" passwd="passwd"
..
So far to my knowledge that is the best way I ever found to create large
amount of users. Actually teachers where sending me their list in the
proper format, then I was piping the email into the script and then
sending then back the output.
Unfortunately the script no longer works with 6.1 .. I need some free
time to have a look at it, in any case registration time is over for me
;)
If you want I can email you a copy and you can patch it for 6.1, it is
short .. and ugly I must say, but it worked.
