I tried linuxconf on RedHat sometime ago .. I'm not soon going to touch
that thing again.
Why ?, each time I used no matter what I did, it also did thing on it's
own. Also understanding the interface was more complicated than just
used the command or "vi" the file.
Want GUI, give a try at WEBMIM and tell me what you think of linuxconf
after ;).
The thing is with adding users with gui is that the clicking, typing,
verifying, generating password and typing user info on paper (for the
user) .. is just to much for me.
I do not like having line up at may door .. and I occasionally like
eating ;).
Note I may be off line here, can you do a batch creation of users with
linuxconf ?
Something like <cut> (from a teacher email) and <paste> (to linuxconf)
and <click> addusers. Then get a "user" "passwd" list file to email back
to the teacher ?
if it is the case I will give linuxconf a try again.
On another post, one ask me what was the error with my perl script, I
have not look at it really. I think it as to do with PAM and shadow .. I
don't use shadow and the script seem to be unable to automatically
create passwd (autopasswd).
Also someone wrote that he had writing a C program to automatically
create accounts .. I will be please to have a look at it ;)
