Hi Jonathan,
I am not writing the script for you but at least some code I used
to something similar.
-----------
$entry = `ypmatch $userid passwd 2>/dev/null`;
@entry = split /:/, $entry;
$encrypted = "$entry[1]";
$pwuser = "$entry[0]";
chomp($pwuser);
chomp($userid);
if (!($userid)) {
open(FH, "< $userfile");
while(<FH>) {
($userid, $password, $group) = split(/:/, $_);
if (!("$pwuser" eq "$userid" )) {shift;}
}
}
if (crypt($password, $encrypted) ne $encrypted) {
#Do something
}
------------
mkdir $newic, 0750 || die "Problem creating directory $directory: $!\n";
-------------
open(FH, ">$base/.htacces");
print FH me;
print FH and;
print FH someonelse;
close FH;
With 4 and 5 I can only wish you good luck !!
