Ron Powell [[EMAIL PROTECTED]] quoth: *>I was recently reading Linux Administrators Handbook (by the same folks who *>wrote Unix System Administrators Handbook) and it mentioned that you could *>write a perl script to add users, set their passwords, etc. *> *>The question is, could someone point me to a faq (faq only, please - I'm *>keen to try it myself first) containing the appropriate information? *>Originally, I was going to write a shell script that used "expect"... but *>I'd much rather use perl for it.
The Perl FAQ, http://theoryx5.uwinnipeg.ca/CPAN/perl/pod/perlfaq8.html, covers parts of this, CPAN has a scripts section http://cpan.valueclick.com/scripts/admin/ that has a few examples, and usually most Unix variants these days come with 'useradd' or 'adduser' or some other similarly obfuscated name :) e. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
