Title: useradd again
Post by: jane on January 09, 2003, 06:33:35 AM

from my previous message I've asking in how to create user without using server-manager. And I found the way got the Howto's info from Cyrus Bharda at http://myezserver.com/downloads/mitel/howto/addusers-howto.html.

after testing the script, i found that I'm only be able to put only one word for each awk.
eg: USERNAME1:FIRSTNAME1:LASTNAME1 i put it
jane:mary:jane all workin fine. But if I want to to make it like this
jane:jr. mary:jane - error.
I has check the error and suspecting it came from /sbin/e-smith/db (if i'm not mistaken)
Any idea guyz?

I have found another add user script at http://www.neddix.de/sme/adduser/adduser.php. Haven't tested it, but sounds promising. It looks like, that it can deal with blanks. Have a look at the example.

You could try enclosing your blanks with the chr(34) character.

IE:
jane:"jr. mary":jane

Just a thought...
