Using the "usermod -p " it will pass the already hashed or md5
encrypted straight to the new /etc/shadow file, that's not the problem
with the script.. it's the accuracy of the line
PASSWD=`grep ${USERNAME}: /etc/shadow | cut -d: -f2`
(I might have to use a awk line or something here)
and the other problem is that bash scripts often interpret the "$"
symbols from the already md5 passwords out of the old /etc/shadow file,
not sure if that is the case here, as I haven't totally tested the
script.

It looks like your setting the password to the hash.. Unless you
replace the new shadow with entries from the old this won't work.

Re: [expert] new server, old users
Just thought that I would add a couple of extras to Kwan's script..
But I am not sure if the password thingy works correctly yet maybe
someone will have something better.. anyway
here it is..
#!/bin/bash
IFS=$'\n'
for item in `cat /etc/passwd`; do
USERNAME=`echo $item | cut -d: -f1`
USERID=`echo $item | cut -d: -f3`
GROUPID=`echo $item | cut -d: -f4`
COMMENT=`echo $item | cut -d: -f5`
USERDIR=`echo $item | cut -d: -f6`
USERSHL=`echo $item | cut -d: -f7`
if [ "$USERID" -gt "499" ] && [ "$USERNAME" != "nobody" ] ; then
echo groupadd -g ${GROUPID} ${USERNAME}
echo useradd -u ${USERID} -g ${GROUPID} -c \"${COMMENT}\" \
-d ${USERDIR} -s ${USERSHL} ${USERNAME}
PASSWD=`grep ${USERNAME}: /etc/shadow | cut -d: -f2`
echo usermod -p \"$PASSWD\" ${USERNAME}
fi
done

Re: [expert] new server, old users
Hi!
Thank you for your script. I had to do some modifications, as follow:
#!/bin/bash
# kwan:x:500:1000:Kwan Lowe:/home/kwan:/bin/bash
IFS=$'\n'
for item in `cat /etc/passwd`; do
USERNAME=`echo $item | cut -d: -f1`
USERID=`echo $item | cut -d: -f3`
GROUPID=`echo $item | cut -d: -f4`
COMMENT=`echo $item | cut -d: -f5`
USERDIR=`echo $item | cut -d: -f6`
USERSHL=`echo $item | cut -d: -f7`
echo groupadd -g ${GROUPID} ${USERNAME}
echo useradd -u ${USERID} -g ${GROUPID} -c \"${COMMENT}\" -d
${USERDIR} -s ${USERSHL} ${USERNAME}
done
Now I wonder how can I do to set password automatically.

Hi Kwan,
Nice looking script, but did you try it? But it seems to have problems,
getting the fields mixed up..

You could do something like this:
#!/bin/bash
for item in `cat /etc/passwd`; do
USERNAME=`echo $item | cut -d: -f1`
USERID=`echo $item | cut -d: -f3`
GROUPID=`echo $item | cut -d: -f4`
COMMENT=`echo $item | cut -d: -f5`
USERDIR=`echo $item | cut -d: -f6`
USERSHL=`echo $item | cut -d: -f7`
echo useradd -u ${USERID} -g ${GROUPID} -c ${COMMENT} \
-d ${USERDIR} -s ${USERSHL} ${USERNAME}
done
Remove the "echo" to actually run the command.
Let me know if you'd prefer an awk version...

[expert] new server, old users
Hi List! I'll set up a new server (MDK 8.0 -> 9.1) and I would like to keep the same users, but without cloning or copying /home folders. I know I can copy /etc/passwd file. But I don't know how to regenerate automatically new /home/users folders (from /etc/skel ?) without using userdrake (or similar). I would like to keep gid and uid numbers. Is there a way, how-to, or tip to do it.

Re: [expert] New (server) install of LM 7.2
Is this a new install or are you trying to upgrade a new install? My install went off without a hitch with Apache, MySQL, and PHP. It should be all there and working when you install. You are trying to setup Nuke right? Should work no probs on the development install. I believe the packages you need are mm, apache and apache-common and php in that order. Then add MySQL and mods.

[expert] New (server) install of LM 7.2
Apache works but PHP doesn't I just get the source. I checked to make sure that PHP was installed rpm -q php shows php 4.0.3*** I checked the http.conf file and there is nothing there about php except the default that is commented out. what would be best, uninstall php and reinstall and hope it installes correctly this time, of find a non-mandrake apache-php-mysql setup and put this on, I have already spent more time trying to get mandrake to work than I spent updating apache and adding mysql and php to a redhat machine.

[expert] New Server
Hi there, I'm looking to purchase a new server tomorrow to replace my existing server and this is what I'm looking at for specs. Could someone give me any comments as to whether or not I will run into any problems? Thanks.

I'm building it from scratch (just getting the pieces), and I'm pretty sure all of this will work good. Initially I'll be putting Mandrake 7.0 on it with an upgrade to 7.1 in the next 6 months (once I've played with it enough to ensure my server doesn't get chewed). The only things I'm not sure of is the Dlink DE-538TX 10/100 PCI ethernet card (oh, and the ATI XPERT 2000 card is being swapped for a ATI Rage Pro Turbo 2x video card, I just want the 32MB card to throw in my Windows98 "Nintendo"). Everything else will work good, I think, but I'd like some suggestions. Oh yeah, they also have a sale on now for a Epox EP-7KA ATX M/B with a Athlon K7-650 CPU for about $150 less than the ASUS M/B and Athlon K7-750 CPU.
