I tried like this
useradd -m -p $pass $username .It is working fine.But problem is that it is
asking for sudo password.How I would assign sudo password at the running
of the shell script.
#!/bin/bash# Script to add a user to Linux systemif [ $(id -u) -eq 0 ]; then
read -p "Enter username : " username
read -s -p "Enter password : " password
egrep "^$username" /etc/passwd >/dev/null
if [ $? -eq 0 ]; then
echo "$username exists!"
exit 1
else
pass=$(perl -e 'print crypt($ARGV[0], "password")' $password)
useradd -m -p $pass $username
[ $? -eq 0 ] && echo "User has been added to system!" || echo
"Failed to add a user!"
fielse
echo "Only root may add a user to the system"
exit 2
fi
Here only root can add the user to linux.It asks for the sudo password.How
would assign the password.help me out of this I am kind of stuck here
