Hi all,
I understand this is a little off topic, but it essetially this question
has alot to do with Perl. My question is what are the curent rules for a
Unix passwd? i.e How many characters? Also has any one had anything to
do with the module Unix::PasswdFile.
I have the following code that inserts a current user into /etc/passwd.
For some unknown reason the users password is not inserted into
/etc/shadow.
my $pw = new Unix::PasswdFile "/etc/passwd";
$pw->user("$new_user", $pw->encpass("$new_pass"), $pw->maxuid + 1,
45,
"$new_fname $new_lname", "/home/$new_user", "/bin/false");
$pw->passwd("$new_user", $pw->encpass("$new_pass"));
$pw->commit();
undef $pw;
Any ideas?
Thx,
Dan
