password encryption

[tempsample]

Hi Matti,

Thanks for the suggestion.

I do understand your point,but i want to set the username and password to be same.

if i am going to create 10 users and for all 10 users username will be password.

from the above script,I cant't export the value for password filed that is $PASSWD.

to make user active i have to use salt value to password that is $PASSWD66,but i am not able to export the password filed.

in v3,I dont have any problem,

/usr/sbin/usermod -p $(perl -e"print crypt('$PASSWD','xxxxxxxx')") -F $USERNAME

but in v2,

/usr/sam/lbin/usermod.sam -p `echo $PASSWDlb | /usr/lbin/makekey` $USERNAME

in password filed,I have included $PASSWDlb,but in script i have exported as PASSWD,so it is not matching.

is there any solition to fix it ??

adding one more to the previous post :

/usr/sam/lbin/usermod.sam -p `echo ABcd1234lb | /usr/lbin/makekey` $USERNAME

currently i am setting ABcd1234 as password to all user,but i want to set username as password for all users .

Can any one has idea to crypt the password ?

so that I can match to my script that i posted above in previous post

The shell "thinks" you want to use the variable named PASSWDlb, not the variable named PASSWD.

Try this:

/usr/sam/lbin/usermod.sam -p `echo ${PASSWD}lb | /usr/lbin/makekey` $USERNAME

It helps if you provide the URL:

http://h30499.www3.hp.com/t5/System-Administration/Using-Makekey-and-Usermod-sam/td-p/4431217

>Can any one help me in opening the page.

That URL is the previous incarnation of the forums and is gone forever but the post is somewhere.
You could do a google search for JRF's posts and likely words:

makekey usermod.sam site:h30499.www3.hp.com
