We add new users through a script that sets up home directories on different machines. If they are a student they on one machine if they are faculty they are on different and so on. Our mail comes into one machine and then sent to where their home directory lives. ( I did not set it up this way but I have to deal with it) I need to set up aliases for everyone who is new and I am doing it by hand. Does anyone have a script that I can use?
just add the line to your current (bash/sh?) script.
echo -e "$NewUserName:\t$NewUserName@$NewUserMachine" >> /etc/aliases
Of course you probably have some other varables to represent $NewUserName and $NewUserMachine. Then just run "newaliases"
