Hi, I am going to install Ultrix soon on a 8650. I am sure to have a lot of questions. In preparation however, I do have a question that I would like to propose to the net: Here at the University of Cincinnati, we add an account for each student that is taking a computer class and then remove it at the end of the quarter. We get a list of registered students form the registrar. So at then end of each quarter I'll need to remove and then add a bunch of accounts. On our VMS machine we run a program to automate this procedure. My question is : how can I automate this for Ultrix? (The file from the registrar contains ss# and birthdate which we use for username/password) Should I write a script, a c program, or go another route? I will be installing 3.0. Thanks for all responses. Ellen Otten EOTTEN AT UCQAIS.UC.EDU OTTEN AT UCBEH.SAN.UC.EDU CCONERO AT UCCCVM1.BITNET UCBEH::OTTEN
