Need to add several thousand user-names, several hundred group-names, make users part of groups, etc., and am battling . . .
I have tried script as per Darrel May (Thanks), but don't seem to be able 2 get it 2 work properly with SME v5.1.2
After running script, 'db show accounts' lists the added account and pseudonyms, but /home directory is not created, unix account is not created, password not set, ldap and httpd not updated??? What am I doing wrong??
Herewith modded script to add students:-
#!/bin/sh
#
# USAGE:
#
# Create the file /root/stlist.txt in the following format:
#
# USERNAME1
#
# and so on...
#
# This script will create user accounts, mail accounts and pseudonyms for
# all the listed users in the /root/stlist.txt file.
#
# NOTE *By default usernames/passwords are set to the same value*
#
UFILE=$1
if [ ! -f $UFILE ]; then
echo User database $UFILE missing
exit
fi
# export record=cat $UFILE
# if [ "$record" != "" ]; then
# --------------------------
# Make sure the lines below are all indented as shown
# --------------------------
for record in cat $UFILE
do
user=echo $record | awk -F"," {'print $1'}
firstname=student
lastname=echo $record | awk -F"," '{print "#" substr($1,2,length($1))}'
uid=echo $record | awk -F"," '{print substr($1,4)}'
number=$RANDOM
# ----------------------
# Set values for account
# ----------------------
#
# Available values and options are shown below as 'option' :
#
# FirstName $firstname
# LastName $lastname
# Dept 'department'
# Company 'company name'
# Street 'address'
# City 'city, postal, prov/state, country'
# Phone 'phone number'
# EmailForward 'local, forward, both'
# ForwardAddress 'leave blank or enter forward address'
#
# Below are the minimum values with no changes required
#
/sbin/e-smith/db accounts set UserName $user FirstName $firstname LastName $lastname PasswordSet yes Uid $uid Gid $number
# ---------------
# Create e-smith Account

'$user' );"

/sbin/e-smith/signal-event pseudonym-create $firstname.$lastname $user
/sbin/e-smith/signal-event pseudonym-create $firstname_$lastname $user
done
input file looks like :-
s970871234
s960565332
To give
Account Name : s970871234
