Im trying to add many users to a system post kickstart for a disaster
recovery plan. I wrote the following script, but for some reason some of the
users passwords come out incorrect. I think this is due to weird chars in
their password such as & or ! etc. Most come out just fine i would say 90% of
the aprox 200 users i add and change their password to. I would greatly
appreciate any and all comments and help in this matter. Perhaps there is a
program allready out there thats "better" then my script that would allow for
any chars in the persons password etc. Thanks!
#!/bin/sh
# echo test
for a in `cat users.txt`
do
{
u=(`echo $a | cut -f 1 -d ':'`);
p=(`echo $a | cut -f 2 -d ':'`);
echo "User : "$u
echo "Password: "$p
adduser -s "/bin/false" $u
}
done
cat users.txt | /usr/sbin/chpasswd
The users.txt file would look like this
jim:jimspassword
joe:joespassword
jeff:jeff'spassword
Jim.
