[comp.unix.xenix.sco] make users

hin@tnoibbc.UUCP (Hin Oey) (05/08/91)

L.S.

Recently I migrated form Xenix to SCO/UNIX 3.2 version 2.
One of the main reasons was the C2 security option.

However, I have a coming problem of registring many _over
100- users. You can do this with sysadmsh but I want a
secretary to this. For them sysadmsh might be to
complicated, apart foprm al the other things they could do.

I am experimenting with a shell script program which will
add a user by a cron job. However, this only works with
XENIX.

Regards,
Hin Oey

Try reading the man page for the command addxusers(ADM).  If you're
looking for it in the on-line man pages, use the command 'man addx'.
It describes a tool that's used to migrate multiple users over to an
SCO Unix 3.2v2 or later system.

	We have an SCO-UNIX based system (an Altos 5000) that
	does not include the "addx" tool.  We had to "invent" a
	series of shell scripts that both add and delete masses of
	users from our system.  We were able to do so, with some
	very helpful advice from SCO.

	I will be glad to shar them up and mail them if anyone wants
	them.  They seem to solve the problem of periodically adding
	and deleting masses of users for our university environment.
