hello there, Got another question. as far as I know I need the following to encrypt a passwd in perl. I plan to use it to add a users to my /etc/passwd /etc/shadow and /etc/group now I got a question cuz most newbees do :) what am I missing in this script I've narowed it down to the crypt command and found out in the cammel book it should be crypt(plaintext,salt) if I understood it corectly. what do I need for the salt???? my script is the following (don't laugh to hard :))
#!/usr/bin/perl print "Enter your preferd username.\n"; $username = <STDIN>; chomp($username); print "enter your prefered password\n"; $passwd = <STDIN>; $passwd=crypt($passwd); chomp($passwd); print `/usr/sbin/useradd "$username" -p "$passwd"`; -- Jerry M.
