Surely you forgot to kinit and/or aklog. I've created user yure using this script and it worked flawlessly. Just one thing that we can add to the script is automatic ID assignment. Currently the best way to find out an UID that is not used is to run "getent group | tail". If last number reported is say, mwolson.cgi:x:10151:, then you create next user with 10160 (round up to next 10). _______________________________________________ HCoop-SysAdmin mailing list [email protected] http://hcoop.net/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/hcoop-sysadmin
