- Please bottom-post your responses to this list, so that extended threads can remain comprehensible. Thank you. - This isn't really a Perl problem is it. You're having problems setting up LDAP accounts. You could write a program in almost any language to do the same thing. - You are trying to create a group (by shelling out to groupadd) for each user. I believe that is fruitless as groups exist only to allow joint access at a different level from the user's own. Since you have a umask of 0700 you may as well use a single group called 'student' or perhaps 'S08' or something similar. - Try things at the command prompt. If they don't work there then coding a Perl program to do them en masse won't help at all.
