Anyway, here is a bash script that should do what your after. I have tested it as far as creating users and setting passwd's but I am not running quotas at home so, you should confirm that aspect before going live.(of course, test the whole thing yourself anyway!) #!/bin/bash # #read a file with one new account entry per line # format of source file is "users real name,userid,password" # set quotas based on a template quota account. # # in the edquota line, # "templateID" is an existing users quota to use as a template username_file=/tmp/users_names2add.txt status_log=/tmp/new_user.log while read newuser do username="`echo $newuser|cut -d, -f1`" userid="`echo $newuser|cut -d, -f2`" userpass="`echo $newuser|cut -d, -f3`" useradd -c "`echo $username`" $userid 2>> $status_log >&2 edquota -p templateID $userid 2>> $status_log >&2 echo $userpass | passwd --stdin $userid 2>> $status_log >&2 done < $username_file # end of script Hope that works for you. -- Pete Nesbitt, rhce -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:redhat-list-request@xxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
