HI,
I have a script I downloaded and have been able to make a couple of mods
to. The script is called Addpopusers and takes input from a text file and
creates the users for me. However now I do not want to create passwords as
the system will authenticate against an NT server using PAM. The users are
needed to allow for email from within AUC. Can someone look at the code
below and tell me how to modify this to prevent the creation of a password
for each user. My alternative is to let it create identical passwords and
then use an editor to edit 'shadow'. BTW $passplain is set in a preceding
section of the script, could I just set that to ""?
# Now add our new user with home directory '$homebase$loginname' comment
'real name,,,poponly' to group '$group' with shell '$ushell' to expire on
'dec 30 this year' and get ouput if exists to flag file
`groupadd $Group>/dev/null 2>&1>/dev/null`
`useradd -m -d "$homebase$loginname" -c "$name,,,$comment" -g
"$Group" -s "$ushell" -k "/etc/skeleton" -e "$acct_expire" -p $passwd -O
UID_MIN=$uid_min -O UID_MAX=$uid_max -O GID_MIN=$gid_min -O
GID_MAX=$gid_max $loginname >./user.exists 2>&1`
err=`cat ./user.exists` # See if we have a dupe
fi
passwd=$passplain
do_output #### Jump to file and screen output
if [ ${#err} -eq 0 ] ; then
return 1
else
return 0
fi
}
