Hmmm, just loaded the allusers.txt file into pico and did a write out
and it now works, must have still been a windows file. Now my modified
procedure is below but I only get one entry in the newlist file (either
the last one in allusers or the last processed if I interrupt it.
#!/bin/bash
while read name; do
grep $name smbpasswd > newlist;
done < allusers.txt
If you want a list of all "invalid" usernames in smbpasswd that is
not in allusers.txt, this way might be easier:
cut -d: -f1 smbpasswd | while read name; do
grep -q "${name}\$" /tmp/list || echo $name
done
