Uma,

Here's a basic script I used in the past. In this case, I assigned all users the same home directory and group, but you parameterize those and maybe flesh this out a bit.

if [ $# -ne 2 ]; then
echo
echo "Usage: add_user username \"Description\"

where username =\tthe login name to be create \"Description\" =\tthe user's full name (must be in quotes if >1 word)" exit
fi
useradd -d /home/finapp -g finuser -c "$2" -s /sbin/sh $1 passwd -d $1

HTH,
Gary

hi,

I can.Since we are getting a new Unix Machine and as i have to port 230 users from the existing unix box to the new box, i require a script to run it in a loop for all the 230 accounts.

Hi,

Is any one of you having a script that will automatically create users on a
uni box(preferably on SUNOS).Script should give all the details like existing groups and userid's and prompt the administrator for input.I have written one a year back but last it as i became a DBA from Unix Admin.

Any site where these kind of scripts available is also OK.

Thanks in advance
Uma Shankar
