I think your code will start working if you use: use Crypt::PasswdMD5; $pass = unix_md5_crypt($input_pass,$salt); Also, your double-quotes in the useradd command look redundant. Try removing them, if it still doesn't work. They may been being processed as part of the username/password. Hope this helps, - Chris. -- $a="printf.net"; Chris Ball | chris@void.$a | www.$a | finger: chris@$a -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
