You could edit the script to run "mkntpwd" to generate the passwords yourself. I used the following perl code in my scripts...


#!/usr/local/bin/perl -Tw
#
use File::Temp qw/ tempfile /;
#...
...Some code....
#
#
# create a temp file and write the users new password into it, file is automtically deleted.
my $password = $_; my ($fh, $filename) = tempfile(UNLINK => 1);
print $fh $password;
# Run mkntpasswd reading the password from file, this is the secure way i think...
my $winpass = `/usr/sbin/mkntpwd -f $filename`;
#The output is 2 passwords joined by a ":", split them into 2 varibles
my ($LANpass, $NTpass) = split /:/, $winpass;
#########################################


So you have the Lan Man password in $LANpass and Your NT Password in $NTpass.

Update LDAP with the values from the variables.

hope this helps

Hi,

i plan to mass creat user in ldap to use with samba

I tried with ldiff like the structure below, the user is created but no home directory is created, user in not member on any groups.
1) how to do with ldiff file to put a user member of a group ?


So i plan to use smbldap-useradd => home drectorie is created with the appropriated rights, user is member of "Domain Users" : Great !
My goal is to creat a script that will, for each user in a text file, call smbldap-useradd. I think that this won't be too difficult (any hint will be apreciated)
My problem is that i also want to generate a password with smbldap-passwd. But this script doesn't accept any parameters. It prompts for a password ...
2) Is there a solution to avoid this problem so that i also can generate mass user password ?


Thanks
