Creating users

Creating Users

- Create file in this format:
- username Real name
- (spaces between first / last name, tab between user / real) - WARNING: Blank lines in the file causes severe problems! - Go to Sammett, grep through /etc/passwd to make sure that your users don't already exist.
- Go to Babbage, find /Admin/makeManyUsers.pl
- Feed your input fileinto makeManyUsers.pl
- Using this syntax: perl ./makeManyUsers.pl newUsers 13757 100 - This creates users with the real and usernames from the file newUsers, starting with ID 13757 (and incrementing up), in the usergroup 100.

- Send password.out to whoever needs it.
