| Zarrku | Hello is anyone around | 21:50 |
|---|---|---|
| Zarrku | I need to be able to create a mass of users with usernames and passwords the same | 21:51 |
| Zarrku | like Username: dt1000 Password:dt1000 | 21:51 |
| Zarrku | also being in the same group | 21:52 |
| Zarrku | basically from 1000 - 1100 | 21:52 |
| alkisg | man newusers | 21:52 |
| Zarrku | So, I would need to create a new user dt1000 - dt1100 and have them in a certain group | 21:54 |
| Zarrku | yep | 21:54 |
| alkisg | newusers does what you're asking, see the man page | 21:54 |
| Zarrku | you mean the newusers command | 21:57 |
| alkisg | Yes | 21:57 |
| Zarrku | I dont see it on the main page | 22:00 |
| alkisg | The command is: man newusers | 22:00 |
| alkisg | I wrote it above | 22:01 |
| Zarrku | oh | 22:01 |
| Zarrku | man newusers | 22:01 |
| alkisg | If you're not on a linux machine now, use the website: http://manpages.ubuntu.com/newusers | 22:01 |
| alkisg | That's the way to "read the man page" | 22:01 |
| Zarrku | well that harder then I thought is was going to be | 22:03 |
| Zarrku | thats | 22:03 |
| Zarrku | heh | 22:03 |
| Zarrku | wish I could just port the users I have in my cent os linux over to ubuntu | 22:04 |
| Zarrku | but since cent os is redhat based, that want work | 22:04 |
| alkisg | Zarrku: it's not hard, you just make a colon-separated .csv file in openoffice | 22:05 |
| alkisg | You could also export them with a small script | 22:05 |
| Zarrku | they have a 4 digit user name | 22:05 |
| Zarrku | in the old linux | 22:05 |
| alkisg | You can do that in ubuntu too. It's not adviced, but it's doable | 22:06 |
| Zarrku | I can export them with webmin | 22:06 |
| Zarrku | but the users in cent os or located in a different directory | 22:07 |
| Zarrku | then ubuntu | 22:07 |
| alkisg | You mean e.g. /path/to/other/home? That's configurable too. | 22:07 |
| Zarrku | yeah | 22:07 |
