Tom, See if this helps any.
Build a list of ip addresses you want users added to in a file called /tmp/iplist.txt
Run the following script on this server. This script will put the list of accounts to be added on each server.
NOTE: on line 3,is a root equivilant account that is on every server. Adduser is the account name and passwd is the actual passwd.
cat /tmp/iplist.txt | while read line | do;
if [ -s /tmp/iplistt.txt ]; then
/ftp -inv $line << EOF
user adduser passwd
pwd
bin
prompt
ls $FILE
get $FILE
quit
EOF
else
continue
done
echo "...ftp: ended"
Build the file (/tmp/account.list) in this format:
Account Name:Gecos Name
Run the ftp script.
Now all that is needed is to run a telnet script to add the users.
I have not had a need for this so this part needs a little work.
On each server you can run the following:
Cat /tmp/account.list | while read line| do
echo $line | IFS=":" read id gecos
useradd $id â c $gecos
done
You can also add entries to automatically age them, (such as â x 60 to age out in 60 days).
What you can do is run the scripts in cron.
On every server, run the useradd script at 22:00 every night.
On the one server pushing the lists run the ftp script at 21:00.
You would have to modify the /tmp/account.list file daily, but it would be a one time thing and would add the users.
If no one needed to be added leave the file e
