Script to add user

[Ngoh Chean Siung]

Hi,

What is the variable name for Office Location & Office Phone in SAM during new user creation

During user creation, we are using a script which is a.sh

Now I would like to add in Office Location & Office Phone. I know the variable name "$comment" in this script is allow me to add in the info for Real Name.

So, how to add in the Office Location & Office Phone by using this script?

This is all stored in the "comment" field, separated with commas. The format is: -

full name, office location, extension, phone.

So instead of -c "Fred Bloggs", you can put -c "Fred Bloggs, First Floor, 1234, 01234567890"

For more detail, see description of the "gecos" field in "man 4 passwd"

Hi,

all the comments you wanna store can be placed under the -c (comment) option

eg

Name, Building, Floor, Phone etc.

You need to look at option -c. (the comment for user) Also you may want to look at command "chfn" This appilies to finger command.
