I am running a batch update of my users with a small script that
includes
useradd -m -p password -u uid login. The users get added with correct
uid
and correct login, but the password seems to get garbled.
e.g useradd -m -p gtaskf23x -u 600 fred
creates /home/fred, creates an account "fred" with uid 600, but we
cannot
login as "fred" with password gtaskf23x.
This happens if I issue the same useradd command at the command line.
What am I doing wrong?
I have shadow passwords enabled, should I disable this feature and if
so,
how can I do that? Does this have any bearing on the fact that I cannot
bind to my NIS server, but can use NFS?
Cheers,
