Check out a few that seem to do something similar to what you're trying.) There are also some (many?) pages on the internet--try a search for 'bash programming'. I found two that look promising (in about 30 seconds): http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/Bash-Prog-Intro-HOWTO.html http://mirrors.sunsite.dk/ldp/LDP/abs/html/ -Jason On Thursday 14 November 2002 05:56 pm, Patrick Atlas wrote: > Hello, > > We are managing hundred of users on a network based on Netscape Exchange > Server (mail, news and web). > In a few weeks, we would like to change to a linux server (Mandrake of > course!) > As we don't want to create by hand each existing user, is there a script > or a software that will automatically: > > -create a new account (possibly from a list of existing > logins/passwords) > -apply the new user to adequate groups > -create a file with his login as name > -create a virtual host to his file in the apache configuration > -apply a DocRoot in proftp configuration > -create a user and his database with his login/password in mysql > -copy a phpmyadmin with adequate configuration > -and few other little things... > > Any ideas? > > Thanks > > Patrick Atlas -- ========================= "Out of Print" is bookseller speak for "We can't be hedgehogged".
