I took a stab at a few below. I haven't put in the sudo code as I am not a proponent of including passwords in script files. You may want to have a public/private key pair between the two root id's on both machines. That would require you to have a key without a passphrase, which, for root, is not ideal either. I'll let the security gurus handle that one. Here is a draft script rewritten: --- Start of script --- #!/bin/bash echo "Checking for user file..." if [[ ! -e /home/dj/list ]] then echo "User file not found" >& 2 exit 1 fi echo -n "Enter Hostname: " read HOST 3</home/dj/list while read -u 3 USER GROUP PASSWORD FULL NAME do ssh $HOST ... ... done --- End of script --- Hope this helps, Michael -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:redhat-list-request@xxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
