All:
I'm trying to use "useradd" (with a number of options listed in the man
pages) in a loop in a Perl script to create a batch of accounts.
Unfortunately, it doesn't seem to allow me to just put in a password at the
same time, it appears to want to interact with the keyboard for each
password to be typed in twice.
I know that if I don't set a password, it will create the account with no
password, but that is a less than satisfactory solution.
Does anyone have a solution that will allow me to enter a password while
creating an account from a script that does not require keyboard input?
My e-mail address is miles_at_hood.edu
Thanks...
