I adapted it somewhat, but took a more minimalistic approach, since there are only four users who need initial access. cating /etc/shadow mangled the passwords, I mean with cat >> <<-EOF, so I took the echo '' >> method instead. That works fine enough for me, so thanks for all the replies :) I think cat just didn't like all the bonus characters in the shadowed pass... And now on to congratulate Herr Lange for this great tool, the only thing I have left to tweak is to set /etc/hostname go correctly and we're rolling! Thanks! -- mjt
