Hey everyone I have a problem, its mostly about AIX but i thought if i could do it on linux too.
I need to automate the process of creating user accounts on an AIX 4.3 on an RS/6000 machine so that the user names are read from a text file with each line containing one user name only.I also want that the password remain the same for all the user accounts till the user logs in for the first time when he'll be prompted for changing his password. I need to do this because there are many hundreds of user accounts that need to be created at one time and it would be foolish to spend so much time typing in the mkuser <username> and passwd <username> repetitively. What I want to know is if there is a script or program in C that does this sort of a thing? If not, can someone tell me if there is a system call that creates a user account on being given username and a password or even if such a system call doesnt exist, can you give me some pointers for doing this on my own. I would also like to know if this can be done on a Linux server? Shehjar __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
