Package: passwd Version: 4.0.18.1-7 My apache front end leaves scripts for root cron to run. This is a tried and tested strategy (over several years).
When root cron runs: /usr/sbin/useradd -d /home/uname -g staff -p 7QmZL4 uname chfn -f "full name" uname --- snip housekeeping in netlogon --- /usr/bin/smbpasswd -x uname wait (echo spaswd ; echo spaswd)|/usr/bin/smbpasswd -a -s uname wait --- snip housekeeping in /home/uname --- I expect everything to work for me. group staff already exists. On my 'new' Etch (Was rc now updated) when I look in gnome user manager uname has been created correctly with Main_group staff, but staff group does not contain uname. I am updating from deb http://mirror.ox.ac.uk/debian/ etch main deb-src http://mirror.ox.ac.uk/debian/ etch main deb http://security.debian.org/ etch/updates main contrib deb-src http://security.debian.org/ etch/updates main contrib deb http://security.debian.org/ etch/updates main contrib non-free deb-src http://security.debian.org/ etch/updates main contrib non-free Thanks for being there for us all. Let me know if you need screen shots.
