There is a utility called 'useradd' which comes with the shadow-utils package. You can use it either interactively or pass it the options using the command line. The main options for you would be useradd [-p passwd] [-s shell] login-name You can use this utility in your shell script. Use the shell script to read a user name from the txt file, use useradd to create the user. If you try google, I think you may come across scripts which do this. -- / \__ ( @\___ Raj Shekhar / O My home : http://geocities.com/lunatech3007/ / (_____/ My blog : http://lunatech.journalspace.com/ /_____/ U _______________________________________________ ilugd mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://frodo.hserus.net/mailman/listinfo/ilugd --------------------------------- Do you Yahoo!?
