I have my new servers up and going with Samba and LDAP on them. Now
I have to add my users. Here is my problem. I have written a perl
script that reads a file and adds users to different groups
depending on what grade they are in and it also generates a random
password, that it exports to a master list. The old script would
add the user to unix and then to samba, along with the password of
each user. This made it easy for me to have our student records
program to export all of their information and then run it through
my perl script.
Now that I have switched over to Samba/ldap, I see no option to add
the passwd in the command line. It always prompts for the passwd.
Does anyone have a way that I can add the user and passwd? The '-P'
option in smbldap-useradd does not take a password in-line, but
rather asks for it to be typed in.
The unix 'passwd' was the same way, but it had a switch '--stdin' so
that I could pipe the passwd into it and the smbpasswd actually let
you put the password in-line.
Thanks for any help. I really do not want to have to enter all of
these passwords by hand, and I also do not want them making their own.
Did you see LAM - LDAP Account Manager - http://lam.sf.net ?
It's pretty good for managing the domain users, machines, groups etc.
You can really fine tune everything there (password expiration,
paths, etc.).
Give it a try, it's a nice tool.
Looks like I would still need something for my script to access to do
my batch add. I really would rather stay away from any kind of GUI if
I could. Thanks.
Well, looks like I might see the problem. After checking the man pages
for smbpasswd, it does not look like the passwword can be added to the
command line anymore, unless I am missing something.
On my other samba server (the one I am getting ready to replace), I
could do the following:
smbpasswd <username> <passwd>
I don't see where I can do that anymore in Samba-3. Am I overlooking
something?
but if you're using LDAP exclusively, shouldn't you use smbldap-useradd
and smbldap-passwd for adding users and changing passwords?
